XP PC runs slow with Foxpro 2.6 app minimized

[BryanTabb]

Hi All,

Setup :
Compaq Desktop, P4 1.6 , 128mb Ram, Win XP Pro, NAV 7.6

When running the Foxpro application everyting works fine. The problems start when the application is minimized and the user attempts to open other apps e.g. word , excel etc etc.

These applications run very slowly, close the foxpro app and everything runs normally.

I've tried usign the run in own memory space, adjusting the priority of NTDM, using the different compatability options. So far nothing has helped.

The high speed cpu patch has been installed.

I've checked task manager during the slow down and found fp26000.esl pretty much at 100% CPU utilisation.

Testing has been done with the application running locally and across the network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bryan,
check MEMLIMIT (a lot of threads...)
If you have SET CLOCK ON, change it to OFF.

Another route is to increase memory in your system. 128meg is the minimum memory for XP.

NAV Realtime Protection also slows FoxPro26. Try disabling it. It helped considerably on my Terminal Server.

Hi

By constitution, W2000 and NT systems (Now XP since based on NT), will utilise the 100% CPU resources. This will continue even if the application is put on the background.

To solve this problem to some extend, you can use the code..

start /low foxprox.exe -cconfig.fp myapp.app

-cConfig.fp is the resource file, if you use it and myApp.app is the application you are running.
