Running Clipper programs under Windows XP
|
|
|
| Hi
My programs do not run (hang up) when I attempt to run them in windows XP
machines.
They run very well in Win 98 machines.
I would appreciate any guidance as to how this can be done.
Thanks

what do you mean "hang-up"?
it is known, when working in full-screen, app hangs-up, while if started as
windowed, app works.
this is [maybe] due to xp video card driver. try to update [change] driver,
or replace whole video card [as we done]
it sometimes happen whit certain motherboards with integrated video.
so, on some xp machines app works, on other xp machines hangs-up. if on
these [other] machines reinstall w98, app also works.

Open a DOS window and run your program from the command line.
Do you see any errors??
Does the window hang??

1) If your program was linked with rtlink or blinker 6 or less, try to
link it with blinker 7 (I've heard that Causeway is ok too for XP, and
now it's free)
2) Try to debug it too see which instruction is freezing the app
2) Try to compile it with [x]Harbour
