Radenkovich’s P(a)lace

Couple of years ago I’ve faced with unpleasantness when I’ve upgraded couple of Windows 98 workstation to Windows XP: FoxPro 2.6 applications simple consumed so many system resources that everything is hit: printing takes longer than usual, network traffic throughput is reduced since processor does not have free time to deal with these issues, it’s mainly occupied with currently running MSDOS session with foxpro application within. Some recommendation was to adjust idle sensitivity settings on shortcut but it does not solve the problem: depend of settings you can choose between two extremes: to confess all resources to foxpro process, or to take them from it (in which case foxpro application is running very slow - almost useless).

My doubts are there is related to different kind of multitasking provided with Windows XP comparing to older in Windows 98 which suit FoxPro applications better then new one. If you start more than one foxpro process on one machine - it will be good as dead.

I’ve found a solution on this site:

It is small utility which you need to start before foxpro appliaction and no more Windows hang up!

However, later I was checking this site and download link was broken, so I will provide you with version I’ve previously downloaded: click here for download. (I’m not providing you warranty of any kind for this download, take it on your own risk)
