New Plus installation errors

I'm using Windows Vista on a laptop.
I've just upgraded from Plus 2.21 to 2.6.1.3.
I did not uninstall 2.21 first.

dBase now hangs up constantly and the debugger doesn't work.

I get a lot of internal errors: "dBase plus has encountered any internal or

operating systems error.  Do you want to save any unfinished work before 
exiting?"

When I run an application from inside of dBase and an error occurs dBase 
hangs up and the navigator and command window close. I have to use the Task 
Manager to shut down dBase.

Also, when I run the debugger and set a breakpoint the run application 
buttons become disabled.

Should I try uninstalling and then reinstalling dBase or is there maybe 
something missing in the .INI file?

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Ted

Ted,

2.6.1.3 should work on Vista. Try reinstalling it and be sure you are 
logged into a User Account which has Admin rights when you run the 
installer.

If the problem persists, let us know. I don't have Vista myself so I am 
just going by what I've seen here in the news groups.

Hi Geoff,

I completely uninstalled dBase including all directories and registry 
entries.
The debugger now works but other than that it still locks up as before.

I would appreciate any other suggestions.

Thank you,
Ted

Ted,

I don't recall anyone having this much trouble. Have you tried "Windows 
Update" (or whatever they may now call it for Vista) to be sure Vista is 
up-to-date?

Is this locking up occuring only when you run your code or when you try 
to do even simple tasks? If the former, then you will need to narrow 
down your code to the lines which are causing the problem in order for 
someone here to help. Try turning blocks of code into comments until you 
find the problem goes away and then add back the lines slowly to 
determine "the" line.

If it happens during the simple things like browsing a table, using the 
Navigator or starting a new design in dQuery or the Form Designer then 
it might be adviseable to contact dBI's Customer Service. They will have 
experience with such Vista installation issues.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the suggestions.
I've done several things that have helped a lot.
Not sure which one fixed most of the problems but I get almost no lockups 
now.
I've purchased and run a new Registry Cleaner.
I recompiled all code files individually.

I still get lockups but not often.
Once I locate the code that causes it I'll report back or call tech support.

Thanks for the help,
Ted
