Some ideas: I have my temporary directories in Windows XP SP1 and Windows 2000 SP3 set to c:\temp instead of the default location. Also, have you tried changing some of the settings in your config.fpw? Or using one if you are not? Below is my config.fpw I use and my VFP6 and VFP7 .exes run on a P4 1.8GHZ 256KRAM fine:

RESOURCE=C:\FOXPRO\VFP\FOXUSER7.DBF
RESOURCE=ON
TMPFILES=C:\TEMP
CONFIRM=ON
BELL=OFF
MULTILOCKS=OFF
EXCLUSIVE=OFF
STATUS BAR = ON
TIME=999999
LOGNAME=GETENV("LOGNAME")
LOGNAME=getenv('USERNAME')
HELP=ON
BELL=OFF
DEVELOPMENT=ON
ESCAPE=ON
MVCOUNT=1400
MEMLIMIT=80,1024,1024
EDITWORK=C:\FOXPRO\TMP\
PROGWORK=C:\FOXPRO\TMP\
SORTWORK=C:\FOXPRO\TMP\
TMPFILES=C:\FOXPRO\TMP\
CODEPAGE=auto
_VFP.EditorOptions = "lqKT"
DEFAULT=\profiler\progs
PATH=\profiler\data
command=do \programnotes\maxscreen.prg

Also, the below should not matter (except for dos) but here is my config.nt from c:\winnt\system32:

dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=200
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\haspdos.sys

And the autoexec.nt from c:\winnt\system32:

@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

Just covering all of the bases.



HTH,
