Yeah, it's not a touchpad issue. This is a desktop and it only happens within the command box and within the default Foxpro text editor. I'm trying to motivate some of our people to transition to Win10 and this will be one gripe they'll grab onto like grim death because most of them abhor...

I'm moving some old Foxpro 2.6 DOS installations frm 32-bit Win7 to 32-bit Win10. The transition has been quite smooth. The only weird thing is that text editing is messed up a bit. Basically if I use "modi comm" or edit text in the command box, my cursor will not stay where I place it...

OK FPD26 DOES run in Microsoft Virtual PC in XP mode. So if it's not a machine issue, what is it?

Scott, thanks for the response. I'm trying to avoid using 64-bit O/S so I can avoid the need for using XP mode or any other add-on. Like your tag, I want to keep things as simple as possible. I just tried tamedos and that didn't help. You mention running FPD26 on a dual core processor. I have...

Howdy all, I am trying to run DOS Foxpro 2.6 on 32-bit Windows 7 on a fast Intel i3 computer. It's quad-core, of course, with a speed of 3.7. Foxpro is hanging up in the black DOS window. I have tried various suggestions found on the web, such as restricting ntvdm.exe to one core, disabling...

You are da man! Worked like a charm! At least my little "Hello, World!" program now works from a directory containing only its .exe file and the newly patched version of FOXW2600.ESL! When people tell me "nobody" uses FoxPro anymore, I just chuckle! LOL Thanks again, mucho appreciated.

Hello all, Always good info and advice here so maybe I can obtain some! I want to compile an .exe of some FoxPro for Windows 2.6 programs. Never done this before. So to keep things simple I wrote the most basic program I could, basically a "Hello, World!" program. It runs fine as a .prg within...

Thanks for the feedback. Actually I solved this just by setting the PIF to run in Windows XP (SP3)compatibility mode. Frankly, I never thought it would be that simple. <Knock on wood> it hasn't happened since. RIGHT-CLICK the shortcut, go to PROPERTIES then COMPATIBILITY, then "Run this...

Howdy, fellow Luddites! I say that in the friendliest way! I too am still tasked with supporting programs written in FoxPro for DOS version 2.6 and I'm assisting a client who is replacing a bunch of computers with Windows 7 32-bit systems on which he wants to run old programs written in this...
