PC Toledo

Hola
Buenos dias a todos :
no hablo portuguese, soy frances . Me voy a hablar en ingles :
I have a problem when i execure gdbu.exe (under clipper 5.3b) : i have linked it with exospace, with blinker 7 but :
Under windows xp sp3 ,the program run well at the begining but when i click on 'open a database' on the menu, it ends and return to dos.
I've tried under virtual pc ( dos 6.22 ) and runn good without problem ! So I think it's a question of use of memory ( protected, extended ?)
But I don't find the cause.
Thank's of your help

I heard some (bad) comments about SP3. I think it's a good idea try with SP2 only. Perhaps the SP3 has a defect that is aborting the program. It's worth trying. Moreover, if SP3 is not essential for you, I don't see why keep it. Remember the popular Windows theory: it's already problematic by itself. Therefore, the more updates, worse will be. Add a little more of difficulties when we talk about the DOS, for obvious reasons. ))

Ok Maligno, thank's to aswer me (in english..)
Yes i've heard same things (bad) about sp3 of xp : perhaps it's the reason of this bug
i will try to uninstall sp3 but i think it is not possible ( this update is locked by microsoft ! ) Once installed it's no possible to undo
But another question : Is it possible to run LLib ( i have version 4 complete with tools ) with clipper 5.2e ?
In the llib doc they say to compile with clipper 5.3 or later...and i see in forums that programers using clipper 5.2x use llib ?
thank's in advance

But another question : Is it possible to run LLib ( i have version 4 complete with tools ) with clipper 5.2e ?

I really don't know. And because will be easy to remove if does not work, my suggestion is that you try install it.

Ok, After a first try, it' doesn't work : too many errors when I link (gdbu for example) , even with blinker
Perhaps there is a method i don't know.
I thought this was a solution to use gdbu under a dos windows of xp.
Thank's for your help, If someone have an idea ?

Ok Maligno, i want to tell you :
What is the more pretty graphical library to use with clipper, for you ?
I'm trying some of these but it's no easy : i would transform some text software to graphic's
thank you in advance

None. I don't use graphical interface in my DOS applications. By the way, I don't develop in DOS anymore. I'm working just with CodeGear C++ Builder. Not only GUI but in console mode too.

But if you are planning to work in GUI mode, and still with XBase, my best conseul is: learn a bit more about [X]Harbour and its graphical libraries. Clipper is a obsolete tool.

Ok Maligno
Yes Clipper is obsolete, sure when we see all compilers under windows 32 or 64 bits !!
I'm trying to unserstand Harbour, Xharbour and FiveWin for Harbour : i use Harbour with Hmg MiniGui (Visual interface easy to work)
and Bcc 5.5.1 ( also Ms Visual c++ 6 )
I use delphi personal edition 6 + My Little Base, Visual basic 5 and others currently.

But my way is by nostalgy of clipper to make software in graphical mode, it's just a game !
Thank's for your answer
