Visual dBase Memory Question

I am consulting with a Company that is developing a Visual dBase 5 program. When made into an executable file it is 678 kBytes in size. In order to run the program most Windows background programs and utilities must be turned off. If memory overhead is not severely limited, the program opens without all of the objects showing. Turning off the memory overhead makes the computer almost useless for other applications. Is there some way to better manage the memory requirements of Visual dBase 5?

Thank you,

Thanks for the suggestion Dan. I checked and they are already using Visual dBase 5.7. Do you have any further ideas on what I can do to avoid the memory problem. In one instance the Free resources dropped from 67% to 27% on a 512 mByte RAM system when the Visual dBase executable file was loaded. The Visual dBase form locked up and did not display any objects/controls.
Thank You
