>I have a VFP 6.0 SP3 application. I just received a new laptop that has XP professional installed. When I run my application (that was built with Win95) I get a Error that says "The EXE file has been corrupted. To correct:". Are there any known issues with XP and VFP 6.0?

I seem to recall a while back, someone having troubles running an .EXE that was built on 9x under NT. I can't recall the details but it might have been a German-localized version. Something about .EXE files having different headers on the two platforms?

The solution was to re-build the app on an NT machine, which apparently works on all platforms. You could try rebuilding your app on the XP box (or NT or W2K if available).
