This application that was developed on Clipper is giving an error when I try to execute it from win2000. The error goes like this" General Protection Fault in Module wim.exe at 0010:00E7". The application exe file is WIM. It runs on Win NT with no problems. Please fell free to contact me at carlos.rodriguez@owens-ill.com . I will apreciate very very much any suggestion you can bring me. Thanks in advance. Regards
 
I found no problem to run applicaton developed in clipper in any windows version. How you try to run that may effect. try any one of my program developed in clipper found in or and let me know if that runs properly.

or give detail of your programe by mail karki@programmer.net
 
Well, I also used my Clipper apps on WinNT without much problems, other than being dead-slow when SP6a was installed, but on Win2000 you sure *can't* have dblfn.lib, for long filename support, linked into your app. It wil GPF on you. After removing it it ran 'fine', but only after applying SP2 on W2K, with any reasonable speed.

HTH,

I've heared elsewhere that you must use Blinker 6.0 to link your apps to run under Win 2000.

I tried your recoms but still having the error. This are the ini files. Thanks again for any help.
