Application not starting

[rjm13]

Hi All,

I have a problem with a machine running XP. I have a foxpro application that ran fine up until a couple of days ago. Now when I click on the icon on my desktop to start the application, the application briefly flashes on the screen (less than a second)and then closes out. Has anyone run into anything like this? My other applications work fine. Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RJ

Did you give a look at application events watcher to see if anithing is logged in it about your app ? Can be reached by "computer management" in MMC.

Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

does the foxpro app run locally or is served via server share?


cheers!

When did you last reboot the machine, check in Task Manager and make sure there is not a second instance of this failing program running already.

Check the Properties of the shortcut and make sure the path to the exe is correct. Try clicking on the exe itself and see if it starts.

Consider re-installing the exe, or using System Restore to go back to a point in time when it worked.
