Win 98 to XP Pro

My client has had to replace aging hardware and the new PC's have XP Pro
loaded.  My old Clipper 4.2 application runs ok under XP Pro with the
following exceptions:

1: When run in full screen it only uses the top half of the screen unless I
change the properties once it is running.  Where do I need to put the
equivalent of the old autoexec.bat & config.sys files ?

2: The blink display does not work.

Any quick solutions to these problems would be much appreciated.  I don't
want to move xHarbour or the such like.

Thanks

Hi,

config.sys and autoexec.bat are now config.nt and autoexec.nt located in
\windows\system32.

You can try to make a shortcut to the desktop and change the properties
there.
I recommend not to use fullscreen, but to set the properties (80x25 with
fontsize as needed) of the window that it takes nearly the fullscreen except
the task bar.
Its easier for the users and you ommit problems with double lines display on
some cards.

Maybe blink in textscreens was realized via vesa drivers, I think its not
supported in xp anymore. Maybe you can use attributes like + instead.
