Illegal instruction running FPD2.6

[tilltek]

Running Microsoft Foxpro 2.6 for dos in XP has worked for me for over 12 months but I'm now getting the following...
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
C5:8ae0 IP:0074 OP:c4 ff ec 72 00 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
[Close] [Ignore]
Any ideas what this might be?
My virus checker is up to date.

Malkie, you just might have something there. I have a AMD Thunderbird 1200 too.

I have been thinking of putting in a 1800 for a while now. Maybe this will force the issue.
