Running Paradox for DOS under Win 98 1

[WVJack]

It's been years since I've run Paradox, but I've got a complex data manipulation job today, and I'd love to use Paradox.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have my old paradox files and a shortcut with which, years ago, I used to run Paradox from my Zip drive under Win 95.<br><br>When I try to run Paradox I get the splash screen and then an error message &quot;Unexepected condition: GP 0000 at Paradox:28:12d7 -- Leaving Paradox&quot;.<br><br>What I need;-- command line switches!&nbsp;&nbsp;I recollect that you needed a switch to permit the program to run if you had more than 16Mb of memory!&nbsp;&nbsp;I've fiddled with the advanced button on the shortcut to try to manage the memory environment, but all to no avail.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had a &quot;-net&quot; switch in that old command line;-- what was that for?<br><br>Suggestions, Please.

If you have simply copied a Paradox 3.5 or 4.0 installation to another machine (correct me if I'm wrong) it may be difficult to start. I recommend that you perform a fresh install from the original installation disks. If you don't have the originals you should purchase the latest version of Paradox and convert your existing tables.<br><br>There are ways to place an old installation on a new system but they constitute acts of software piracy. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

I did a fresh install from my original 4.0 disks and rebooted my computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;I now get an error message &quot;Can't load PARADOX.MSG system file&nbsp;&nbsp;Press any key...&quot;<br><br>It still won't run.<br><br>I installed again, but I still get the same message.<br><br>Suggestions?

I got Pdox 4.0 to run in a DOS window.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks Joe887.<br>But it sure is clunkly working that way.

I run paradox under Windows 95 and Windows 98 in a peer to peer Network environment. Each workstation accesses using the a windows icon. The icon is coded as follows:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cmd Line; c:\pdox45\paradox.exe -extk 16000<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Working; c:\pdox45\apps&nbsp;&nbsp;(this is where my data, scripts, etc are located.&nbsp;&nbsp;
