Foxpro2 in Windows XP VPC “Too many open files”

Question

I am converting an old Foxpro2 DOS app and for reference I have the foxpro app running in a Windows XP VPC. Certain application flows cause a Too many files open error. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have tried adding FILES=200 in config.sys as suggested in one blog post but that doesn't work, maybe because this a virtual PC.

Answer 1

I seem to remember that the Windows\System32\config.nt file should contain the settings for FILES= and BUFFERS= on WinNT PCs.
