I have a Delphi 3 app using the latest BDE with paradox files. On some PCs running VIA chipsets (as opposed to Intel) the application causes a 'fatal exception 0e' blue screen error once the program has started. We've found that disabling the 'numeric data processor' via Control Panel->System...

I have a Delphi application that accesses paradox files that are located on a mapped network drive. If this application starts up with NAV auto protect active it takes between 5 to 10 minutes to open the data files. With NAV disabled the files are all opened in less than 30 seconds. (It seems...
