>>Does anyone know how to prevent Foxpro for DOS (FOXR.EXE) from running out of memory? The program being used is a large DOS app that it is not convenient to rewrite, so the DOS emulator in Windows XP would be ideal. The program will not run in Win 98/ XP or Me. Two things occur: 'Insufficient memory' and 'Not enough File Handles'. One message stated that there was not enough memory below 640K available. This is being run on a Novell network - perhaps memory is chewed up there. (All aspects of the program work fine under Win95 but the client does not want to keep using that platform and they have a new, faster computer anyway).

In addition, LH (ore LOADHIGH) statements should be added to any real-mode drivers in order to prevent them from occupying space in conventional RAM in each VDM.
