Slow printing under XP
|
|
|
| Hi folks!
I use clipper /old DOS programs/ under XP. I just realized that when I
start printing it goes very slow. If I stop the programs it goes much
more faster. Why? BTW what compiler/linkedt I have to use for XP?

| If you are not doing it already - you need to use CPU time slice release
functionality.
If you're not familiar with the subject start with VFAQ posted here. (Google

| I see on the DOS Wordperfect site that they recommend TameDOS for
running DOS apps under XP. Clipper has the tools to link in for free.
See the FAQ like Eugene suggested.

| I've found on the web this setting some time ago resolving the problem.
Set the LPT_timeout value to a little time (e.g., 1 seconds) in the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Set\Control\WOW.
