It's all greek to me. I can find the file on the web, but I have absoloutely no idea how to run it or play with it's settings. Can you give me a play by play on what to do in an xp environment.
FYI I did purchase MS Virtual PC and have been somewhat successful running the Clipper app in a...
I could never figure out how to use a decompiler. What about work arounds with the pif/memory settings? Nothing seems to help how the clipper app hogs the all the ram and slows down MS Office 2003 apps. Would MS Virtual PC help? What other workarounds can you think of? I really need to use...
All I have are the finished exec files and I have no idea what's behind them - I don't have any libraries or reference files. I can't answer you with what I have.
I am a non technical user so I am going out of my mind trying to figure out how to use.

It does not make any sense to me whatsoever. Any words of advice?

OK. Since I am not able to program in Clipper, am I ready to hire a consultant to modify the file to work correctly? Who would I hire? I doesn't seem like it would be a lot of work for someone who knew their way around Clipper? How much do you think it would cost? How do I find someone...
Jock,
I set up the command.com ms dos prompt and tried to run the exe file in it, but still the same lockup. Also tried Ian's patched up file. What do you think?

Jock,
I will try this, but let me try to explain something. The app is a database with about 10 exe files in the directory. The main database program works fine in the XP environ, but there are three other exe files that don't work either through the main apps (app utilities)drop down menu or...
I'd like to ask everyone if someone has an idea how else to solve the CPU release issue with 5.2e Clipper. Bozz was able to find me the Citrix Systems patch to address the CPU release to the keyboard loop, but this was not a successful solution to runing my exe file in WinXP. Does anyone have...
Bozz,
So the rest is correct?
In Autoexec.nt put the following code:
SET CLIPPER=F75
In Config.nt put the following code:
FILES=99
More about what happens when the computer locks up. I have a database application written in clipper dos. There are several exe files that all do a function...
Jock,
Thanks a million for your post. Unfortunately, I am not a true tech person and could use a little bit more explanation.
Do I modify the config.nt in c:\windows\system32 in any way?
What is a set clipper line that you put in autoexec.nt? Do I use "files=99"? Can you give me...
I hope you can help me. My business depends on continuing to use a customer software application written in Clipper/Dos that is no longer supported by the creator. I have no problem using it in Win 98, but in Win XP I get the "not enough file handles" error. I go to config sys and...
