You can check out http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPFunctionOS~VFP that documents what OS() will return. Looks like Kevin has all the OSs covered including WinXP Pro. Sounds like Marcus may need to put a suspend into his About form INIT and see where it is trying to pull the Registered User etc. from.
