[Dxbase] dxb2006 (sp1) on Win XP SP2 - Error 157

Tue Aug 26 00:33:34 EDT 2008

For what it is worth, I had a similar problem that would shut down DXBase 
2006 when I tried to connect to an internet telnet connection. What I found 
was two things. Discover was running on my PC which I never installed and I 
removed it. That cured the problem. I later found hundreds of URL's in my 
Hosts files that were placed there by SpyBot Search and Destroy.
I had trouble removing those URL's and to date I had to rename the Hosts 
folder that they were in as I could not delete the folder. I have not had 
that trouble since. I could not make any sense of all this but you might.
