The fact that the processor is not used at 100% may not be the cause of your slow down. I suspect that with this small amount of memory, the swapping to disk may be cause. WinXP use more memory than Win2K, leaving less to VFP. Boosting the memory to 512MB or higher may be the best approach.

>We just upgraded to Celeron 2.8GHz machines with 256 MB of RAM that came with Windows XP installed. When using Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8, processes that ran fine on the older machine (1.4 GHz with 256 MB, Windows 2000) now take a lot longer to run. When I open Task Manager, it shows the System Idle Process running at 90+ percent while VFP only gets the remaining 10% or less. How can I tell Windows to give the FoxPro session a larger share of processor time?
