>>I tried to install foxpro 2.6 on my NT4 workstation and was getting all kinds of strange errors... I finally called Adaptec (using a wide scsi controller). What they told me was that 16bit apps (such as fpw) is not compatible with NT. However I was running the app using an IDE drive and it worked fine. So you may want to check the configuration of the systems that have problems with running the app.

Hi Roy,

I believe the "odd I/O error" you are seeing is the old Win3.1 error "Cannot read from " error due to compiling applications on a machine that had a drive with a drive letter higher than C:. WinNT reports is as "I/O Operation error...". Fix was to compile app on machine with only a C: drive or search thru the SCX's, etc. and remove all references to drive letters higher than C:.
