RE: trying to run vfp3 under XP -- not working - Insufficient memory error

Hi Jay:

I believe you are seeing a known problem in VFP 3.0 caused by the amount of
RAM on the machine. See 137809 FIX: Insufficient Memory on a Computer That
Has 512 MB of RAM
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;137809

I hope this helps.
