>We have a mixed network with W2K and XP machines and users with roaming profiles. The C0000005 error happens very often, usually when a user comes back from an XP station to a W2K one. After the error, the user can't start VFP apps, nor VFP itself! We use the hard way to fix it: delete the user profile, on all stations AND on the server. I was about to use the REGMON utility to see what happens (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml). I'd be very happy to find a better way to solve this, thanks if you keep us posted...

Installshield isn't a part of this problem. Any roaming profile which logs onto an XP machine will then immediately C5 when trying to start VFP on a Win200 machine. I had this problem over two months ago, and deleting the profile was the only recourse. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to track down what's in the profile that's causing the C5.
