It wasn't pretty, but VFP9 is finally gone from my Windows 7 machine. It didn't matter whether I tried to uninstall from the Control Panel or the installation CD, every option was blocked, aborting the process. Finally, in desperation I simply deleted the entire c:\program files\vfp9 folder...

Thanks for your reply, Tamar. I am the only user on this machine, and have Administrator status. The UAC is turned off, and I have tried to uninstall VFP9 in Safe Mode as well as normal. The Visual FoxPro Setup screen that appears when I select "uninstall/change" lists under 1. Prerequisites -...

I recently installed VFP9 on a computer with Windows 7 Professional (32 bit), and now am unable to uninstall it using the normal methods. I have tried all three choices from the control panel, and from the setup on the CD, but the word "uninstall" was never an option. SP2 was installed...

If anyone else ever has this problem, I did find the answer. Microsoft changed the default behavior of the simple BROWSE command in VFP7 and later versions. To illustrate, open a table and type BROWSE from the command window in VFP7 or later and the current record will have only the selected...

Thanks, Olaf. What you see in VFP9 with the gridlines of the current record blue instead of black is what I see in VFP6 and FPW. The blue outline of the current record is not shown on my installation of VFP9 or VFP7, so as I suspected, it must be a configuration issue. You are right, I do like...

Maybe I missed a configuration setting or something, but in every version of FoxPro since it's inception through VFP6 the BROWSE window displays the table records with the currently selected record outlined all the way across the window. As you move the record pointer up or down you could still...

IFRpilot, I think lb63640 is referring to SERVICES.MSC that you would "run" from the Start Menu. Find the services that start with "Symantec" or "Norton", and if they are started, choose "Stop the service". You could also do this from the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager, except you would...

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. Once the EXE has been created on my machine, it doesn't matter whether I run this EXE while it is residing on my computer (not connected to the network) or as a workstation running it on the server. Something happens when the project is built into an...

JRB-Bldr, the workstation in this case is my laptop, where all of the programs, screens, reports, etc. are located. From this computer I can DO MAINMENU.PRG from the FoxPro command window to start the application, and the colors are correct. Typically, I would build an EXE while in my office...

I have a report in FPW26 where the column headings appear as white text characters on a dark green background. It works perfectly during development running from the command window, but as soon as I compile the application into an .exe file for distribution, it appears as black text on the dark...

Thanks, Twizted and Roadki11. I didn't think of creating a Ghost floppy boot disk from another computer. That should work - from Ghost's point of view the operating system doesn't matter, because one hard drive is just like any other hard drive. Jim

Roadki11, I believe that although our RAID 1 system is supported by the hardware, the actual mirroring is a software function of Windows Server 2003. As mentioned earlier I have used Ghost (currently Version 10) for years to clone drives and backup the operating system. However, it will not...

Lwcomputing, the warnings came from the Windows 2003 help system, and from the Microsoft web site. The actual warning is: "If you are replacing one of the disks in a mirrored system volume, be sure to use an identical disk to the one you are replacing. Otherwise, startup problems might occur if...

We have a three year old HP server with two 33GB Seagate mirrored drives. One of the drives has failed, and I am unable to locate another Seagate model ST336607LW SCSI (or similiar) drive to replace it. I ended up buying two larger, but cable compatible Seagate drives, with the intention of...

Thanks, nsantin and Zelandakh. The "net use lpt3" command mentioned in the KB article worked just fine. I set it up in a batch file that is executed each time the computer is booted up. Just changing the port assignment didn't work - had to actually install a new "local" printer after the...
