>1. Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools, and open Event Viewer. Look in your Application event log. You will see 2 events from the time of the crash with IDs 1000 and 1001, with the 1001 being newer. Please open the 1001 event, and you will see text like this:

When running Windows 2000, should these events be in the event log? I'm having similar issues with the debugger crashing VFP, but the event log shows nothing other that event log startup/shutdown.
