start up error

[mearss]

After a system crash, I have reinstalled FoxPro 2.6 on to my Win98SE computer. When I try to start Foxpro I receive a
error message saying "a error has occured.. click close or ignore to continue". If I click ignore the program loads.

The apparent error is a "divide by 0 error in the Foxprow.exe module".

This has all occured since I upgraded to XP. It ran under XP using the compatibility mode of Win95. I am now back running under Win98 until I can solve this problem. Under XP you receive the divide by 0 error message and further loading of the program stops.

Help!

HI

1. Apply the dzpatch if not done already in the existing platform.

2. I suggest you take a copy the FP 2.6 directory as it is from the earlier OS say WIN98. Just copy the entire folder to XP.

3. If you are burning a CD for copying purposes, make sure you are dragging the directory FP2.6 as a whole without omitting sub directories. Also after copying, ensure that the file attributes are not left at +r. (read only)

This probably could solve your problem.

you must put the dzpatch in your fpw directory and put this on the config.fpw

command= ! dzpatch.exe

the you could use foxpro anytime

DZPATCH only needs to be run once to "fix" the FPW files (FOXPROW.EXE, FOXW2600.ESL). I see absolutely NO reason to put it into your CONFIG.FPW file, unless you have a process that is constantly restoring your FPW runtime/development files to their original format.
