If you remember Fox takes it all. You have to restrict lets say foregrounf to 32 mB, background 10 mB otherwise the first app will have all memory used and there is nothing left for the second one..

>>try restricting memory use with SYS(3050). With this you can set the foreground and background memory used.

>Yeah, maybe memory has something to do with it, but these machines have at least 64 MB, and no matter what else is running, two VFP apps can stall each other out... Also, virtual memory isn't even being accessed as far as I can tell, as the hard drive does not do any thrashing when the stalling is going on.
