>>One of my users is running a Vis Fox 6 database (with the runtime library)
>>on a laptop - Intel 233 Pentium MMX processor, with 32 MB RAM and running Windows NT 4.0. Apparently, its VERY slow in general. The disk has been defraged and the directory sizes are the same as on other workstatins where speed in not a problem. Could this be an NT thing? Are there some memory parameters to set? Thanks.

If you believe the resource kit, you can put it up in 12 with a properly-sized swap file. You could run a session or two of Notepad with it, certainly not a current browser, much less a VFP app. 32MB is kind of tight for NT; Win98 would be a better performing environment given the hardware, and probably offers more functionality for a laptop than NT.
