>>>Hi gang,
>>>
>>>This is driving me crazy, and I need some help FAST. I posted this last week just before the outage, so I'm posting it again in case it fell through the cracks (g).
>>>
>>>I installed my new copy of VFP 7 on my Athlon 1.2GHz Win2K Pro box. The install forced the updating of Win2K Pro to SP1 and the updating of IE to v5.5 (I think). Right after the install, I also increased the memory in the box from 256MB to 768MB.
>>>
>>>Since then, two things are happening:
>>>
>>>1) I cannot click on, select by any means, or type in ANY text box on any form or web site (including the UT sign-on screen -- I'm sending this message from another location). All other control types (option button, check box, hyperlink, etc.) seem to work correctly. I also downloaded and installed the SP2 pack for IE 5.5 from the Microsoft site -- no help.
>>>
>>>2) When I attempt to check the version of IE, I get two error dialogs (and I don't have the exact errors handy, sorry -- I can get them if we need them to solve this) and no version number is shown in the About dialog. The version of Win2K Pro confirms in Control Panel/System as SP1.
>>>
>>>UPDATE: Since Friday, I've tried removing the additional memory -- no help (I reinstalled the new memory). I've also installed VFP7 on my Win98SE Sony VAIO notebook (P3-650), and I do *NOT* get this behavior -- leading me to believe that this is an IE issue on Win2K Pro only.
>>>
>>>Anybody have ANY clue what's happening here?
>>>
>>>TIA.

>>Evan,

>>I'm running Win2K Pro (SP1) with IE 5.5 without problems. Have you applied the "hotfix" from the VFP download page yet?

Short of doing a re-install of both, no. If you go that route, install IE first, then VFP. I already had IE 5.5 on the machine, and, as I said, no problems.
