Problem loading 5.7

Problem loading 5.7
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 01:38:03 -040
I have successfully used dbase 5.7 in my laptop previously. I have a Sony w/ 1gb
and XP pro.

I lost my hard drive and reinstalled everything. Now when I try to start dbase I
get an error msg that says: "Invalid driver name or insufficient system
resources: winspool"

I have another desk top with XP pro, and have not had any problems.

Can someone tell me what I am missing here.

Hmmmm. I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't a zonealarm firewall or virus
checker problem.  I'll try turning them off.

Ed,

You could double-check by researching the news group archives, but I 
think your problem is that your default printer is the Windows Fax 
Printer. Change that to a real printer (even if a real one is not 
connected to the PC).
