A few questions...
1) What is the configuration of the computer the system was developed on?
2) How much, and what type of memory do you have on the new system?
3) What version of WIN95 are you running? Are you using the FAT32?
4) What version of Foxpro are you using / system developed in ?

It sounds to me like either a memory or WIN95 problem, but need more configuration info to troubleshoot.
