I have 128 meg ram 450 Pentium and 20 meg hard drive........does the same
thing. I think it is because it is just a 16bit program..
I have another genealogy program also written in FoxPro that had to have
some changes made to the ini files to even open because the 450 was too
fast!
I thought I was upgrading when I went to TMG.

Does anyone have a time frame for the availability of the 32 bit upgrade?
