Sorry about the length of this question.
Background....I own a small convenience store and the back office connection
with my tills is a programme called "Foodstore Manager" It works in windows
but all of its components work in DOS (all little batch files). The database
is controlled by Borland Database Engine. It was already installed and
working under windows98 when I bought the business. I installed XP over the
top of the old system and everything continued to work fine. Recently I
bought a new computer and had to reinstall the original programme on the new
computer before restoring my backup files to that computer.
Since then I have had nothing but crashes, at least 4 each day. Sometime
while working within Foodstore manager but just as often when doing virtually
anything, even playing freecell.
I have downloaded and ran "windiag" which says my system is fine and then
the computer crashed immediately on restart. There is obviously something
wrong in the software.
Question ... does anyone know of conflicts between Borland database engine
and XP. Or is there any other suggestion as to how to fix my problem.
