>>>>>Does anyone know about FoxPro 2.6. I cannot seem to get the extended version of FoxPro 2.6 for DOS to work on a Windows 95 workstation with a Pentium processor with MMX technology -- running on a Novell 4.11 network. I get a general protection fault error after getting into FoxPro.

>>I also think it's a hardware problem and might be speed. It's a Pentium MMX as said. Mine is an AMD K6-200 MMX which is absolutely faster than a Pentium and no problem with FPD 2.6. If it was Pentium Pro or PII than there is a floating point bug too (also Intel doesn't take it as an important bug).

>We're running FPD2.6 on both a Pentium Pro 200 and a Pentium II 266 under both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. No problems in any of those environments. I suspect it's a memory allocation problem not the speed of the processor.

I would have to agree with Cetin, although I'm at work and on NT 4.0 --- I have no way of checking Win95 specifics but it seems to me that for FPD to guaranteed work, you're going to have to ensure a minimal amount of main RAM -and- some specified EMS.
