Foxpro 2.6 (Windows version) & memory

[acchow]

I am working on some compiled applications written in Foxpro 2.6 for Windows. I have applied the patches so that the applications can run in faster computer (P3 or P4). I do not have the "divide by zero" error but when I go further into the application, I will get a message " insufficient memory" when I try to open another table. e.g. the application has a screen and then another button will link to another screen where the user can either edit or add additional information to the linked table.

The only thing that works is by disable the externel cache of the computer. That applies to slower P3 or faster P4. The OS can be Windows 98, 2K or XP. I have tried adjusting the memory settings in the config.fpw but unsuccessful.

The problem is the source code had disappeared with the original programmer so I cannot look inside the source code to identify the problem. Ideally, we want the applications to run on faster P4 computers with Windows XP.

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Have you read all the posts here on "insufficient memory" errors? If you make a search on this forum you will find at least 37 threads.

There are known issues and fixes or workarounds for many of these issues. Search and read.

Not having the source code, you are somewhat limited in what you can do. If you own the program or cannot locate the writer you could buy a decompiler such as

If you use MEMLIMIT, then do not use the 3rd parameter in Win2000 or XP.
