[Dxbase] interesting problem

Sat Feb 23 11:14:41 EST 2008

Alan,
There are a number of reasons why this might happen... Some recently 
installed or updated software overwrote some .dll files that we use and the 
newer .dll is not backward compatible. Something has corrupted your video 
driver and it needs to be updated/reinstalled. You have developed a weak 
spot on your hard drive and the file being read is not being read 
accurately. I suppose there are other possibilities too.
In any case, you will need to investigate those sorts of things. If all 
else fails, I suggest you follow the steps in the help file for reinstalling 
DXbase. It is important that you follow those steps to completely remove 
DXbase before reinstalling; otherwise, simply reinstalling over the top 
without removing DXbase first will not overwrite all the files and in your 
case, I think it is necessary to insure you get a complete reinstall.
Regards,
Jack
