I am running VFP6 with SP5 on Win2000 and am having ZERO problems in that regard. What happens to me is that F1 will go away or, on occasions Win2000 will refuse to run EXEs and I must reboot. I've had Win2000 up about a month (24/7) and I've had to reboot just a few times. I've had one crash and a couple of stealth phantom reboots. All in all, Win2000 is the MOST stable WinXX I've ever run. Now my Linux box has been up 24/7 for three years and hasn't crashed once.
