>Make sure the TEMP and TMP environment variables are defined and point to an existing folder that you have privileges to and is not marked System, Hidden or Read-Only. Then check the PATH environment variable and make sure all the entries in there are valid.

Damn our IT staff! I had this same problem in March - Error Launching VFP8 Thread #771017 Message #771017 - and reported the problem AND the solution to our IT staff then. Silly me, I just assumed they fixed the problem on all the machines. Thanks for the memory trigger. BTW, the path env var was invalid because 2 paths were not separated by a semi-colon.
