So, at 8:19 this morning I started Paradox for Windows v.1, left it up
with no windows on its desktop, and went web surfing with MSIE.
Exactly 1 hour and 1 minute later, at 9:20, a gray window pops up with
title bar "Application: PDOXWIN" and text "The Win 16 Subsystem has
insufficient resources to continue running. Click on OK, close your
applications, and restart your machine." The Paradox window is white
as a sheet, except for the title bar and a few odd scraps.
What do I do now? Upgrade? Would Paradox 5, academic edition, stay up
longer in Windows XP? and would it be compatible with my version 1
tables, forms, and reports?
