database - FoxPro 5.0a taking forever to load on Windows 7 -



database - FoxPro 5.0a taking forever to load on Windows 7 -

i'm assisting company using old software , want off old server , on more recent workstation. here setup:

windows 2000 server (domain controller) foxpro 5.0a shared folder (no database, folder data)

how launch inventory system:

pc users double click lucky.exe shortcut mapped server share in \lucky folder. requirement run map driver letter e: server\lucky folder. when exe launched custom foxpro inventory scheme loads immediately. in office uses same method of opening , can run @ same time. info seems stored in folder called \lucky\lu_

in current environment inventory scheme works fine.

note: if seek browse lu_ folder takes quite bit of time display files. don't know if it's because there 1gb of info in \lu_ folder.

however, fear of hard drives failing rid of windows 2000 server , have inventory run on newer machine. bought windows 7 pro workstation. copied \lucky folder , tried run inventory system.

it takes more 4 minutes load log in screen. it's hanging or doing erroneous. pop asks if want run exe). clicking run takes 4 minutes or see log in screen appear. i've tested on windows 7 workstation , windows xp - both have same issues. 1 time login screen loads scheme works fine.

so recap, trying inventory scheme work on windows 7 pro workstation takes forever load.

things i've tried made no difference:

right click "run administrator" compatibility mode

thanks in advance!

my original thought, researched couldn't find... however, in doing so, found other things consider.

the folder browse folder (via file-manager has nil vfp) indicate folder construction huge # of files, not vfp has problem big files. in fact, vfp can handle files long single file less 32-bit 2gig single file limit. table (.dbf) 2 gig, index file (.cdx) 2 gig, , if (.fpt) exists 2 gig.

however, more concerned temp files. if application on years has had history of creating temp files , crashing and/or never erasing them, suspect might killing directory system, making vfp take forever find files file handle on them.

since testing on machine, @ in _lu info folder , clear out... such .bak, .tmp files , sake of not killing them, move them folder hierarchy of table structure, ex:

c:\somepath\somefolder\vfp\lucky move c:\somepath\somefolder\vfpholding\lucky.

is folder filled other documents scheme creating or works such .pdf, .xls generated files? maybe these old , not applicable. move paralleled folder sure.

what temporary path system. might filled clutter. if not sure, there may file called "config.fpw" it's .ini file of startup settings telling vfp mode start in exclusive, paths, , other environmental settings. if 1 available, please post , might trigger something.

additionally, may have temp path folder pointing "e:" share location referring to. if so, might clutter hanging out , nobody knew clean out.

hope of enlightens on things dig into.
