>I have a VFP6 application that retrieves files from the Internet. When the app is running on one client's XP system, he gets a popup from the OS saying that my VFP app is no longer responding and offering to kill the app or ignore it.
>
>I have this app running on several XP systems, but one particular XP-based system seems to have the "responsivity" threshold set to about 30 seconds.
>
>Is there an adjustment in XP for "application not responding"???

>Thanks in advance for -any- input on this.
