>We are upgrading many of our workstations from Win9x to XP or Win2000. All of the compiled VFP 5.0a apps run VERY slowly under these new operating systems. We are running on a Novell network. We've found a "Compatibilty Wizard" from the Microsoft web site that lets you emulate running a program in Win9x. When we run the vfp apps this way, the speed is ok.

A couple of comments and questions...

Are the machines running Ok with other applications? Upgrading from win9x to 2k or xp - needs quite a bit more RAM, processor, etc.

Have you checked the temporary file settings for your applications? Ie, are the applications using a network folder to store temp files? If so, move it locally.

Are you running a shared exe? Or is the exe on the local machine?

My experience has been that the performance is about the same or a bit better when moving from 9x to 2k or xp. Also a lot more stable.
