visual foxpro crashes

[kkrish]

Hi all ,
I am using visual foxpro.The VFP runs in windows 3.1, and a
progam that uses data from VFP is a dos based C program. I recently
installed another DOS based application.It was functioning well.Now
FOXPRO is not working and it gives athe following error message.
" unhandled exception detected.[Code : 0x0000005 VFP 300.ESL.BDAED]
application will be terminated ."
and
" VFP 300 caused segment load failure in module user.exe at
0001:8093."
Has anybody faced the same situation.Can anyone help .
Thanks in advance.
Krishna. VJ

C000005 crashes indicate something being wrong which cannot
be handled at all by the VFP runtime. IOW, the cause is not
clear in the first place, most popular reasons are corrupted
foxuser.* files or table.DBF/CDXs, video/printer driver issues,
interfering antivirus tools.

In addition, your particular Vfp and O/S versions are probably
less stable than any other combination anyway - VFP9 + WinXP
(or even FoxPro 2.6(a) for DOS and DOS 6.22) might be a
better choice.

Hi Krishna. VJ:

I agree with all Stefan said.

Do you have any idea what the application is doing (starting up, processing
data, printing) when the error occurs?


I hope this helps.

Thanks Mitchell and Stefan.
Foxpro , DOS and windows 3.1 are in a compact flash
disk.Sometimes junk characters are written into the database when my
DOS application writes data into the database.To avoid this I used
another DOS application which could remove the junk characters and it
was working fine.When my actual DOS program tries to fetch the data I
get this error message and the database stops running.

Thanks ,

Hi all,
When I start the computer it says memory test failed.Then when
I press F1 it continues booting.Then I started a DOS program it works
but when I enter foxpro only , it crashes and the screen becomes a junk
screen.Sometimes when I start VFP the PC restarts.

If you're getting a hardware early on diagnostic saying that the memory has
failed, why would you expect VFP to run correctly? Fix your memory problem
first.
