Does it work if you try typing the same commands in the DOS console window? It may be a COMSPEC issue. The VFP6 RUN command invokes COMMAND.COM, whereas in Win2k the COMSPEC is CMD.EXE. I know we had a situation in the past where Win95/98 machines upgraded to Win2K would not execute foxpro RUN commands. Eventually, we had to invoke CMD.EXE instead of COMMAND.COM
