Paradox Setup, Vista, etc. Topic

Any info to support this or deny this would be great.thanks!!!!!

I have installed Paradox 11 on my PC after many years of using Paradox 9. Everything working fine exept when I try to print anything at all. I get a "General protection" error message and the program crashes. Has any one had any experience and know of any fix to this problem?

Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to change the splash screen at the startup of Paradox 11. I did it V9 by editing the pxres09.dll file but cant find a similar file to edit in V11. I have seen one post on the buliten board about splash screen on Runtime V9 but this didn't work on Full Paradox V11... Any help or pointers greatly apreciated

Does anyone have paradox 11 runtime running on a Windows 2012 Terminal Server? I have a 2008 R2 TS server running paradox 11 RT fine, but I haven't seen a 2012 TS server as of yet. Thanks

Hi everyone, I´m a network consultant of various small offices in Argentina that actually uses Paradox 8 over Windows XP. Paradox systems are mantained by a small team of local programmers. We just start to upgrade the workstations to Intel I5 / Windows 7 64bits (4gb of ram, maximum 32gb) Systems works Ok under Windows 7 64bits. We have read the article at /ASPSuite/KB/Document_View.asp?QID=101303 that says there is not 64-bit version of Paradox. In this case: - Are the new processor (Intel I5 here) a significative difference over the previous Pentium Dual Core?, - Are RAM upgrades of more of 3GB (eg: 8 / 16GB) fully used by Paradox Runtime?, , The scenario in this instalation is a centralized server (Samba/Linux) with Quadcore Xeon processor, Gigabit connection and 4Gigabytes of RAM. Can we optimize this server for Paradox with more memory? , thanks and regards!

I moved a paradox 7 app from one working TS Win2003 server to another TS Win2003.  On the new server, it acted as if Oplocks was enabled, regardless of registry oplock settings.  The settings I am using are below along with a more complete descripion of the new server setup. Does anyone know of other Oplock related registry or TS settings I could try? When I have multiple users accessing the same table, users do not see each other's edits.  With User A and B in the table, User A edits and closes the table, B doesn't see A's edits, makes new conflicting edits closes the table and wipes out A's Edits.  I get the same result if install and run PDOXRT11. I got this installation working by moving the data from the TS D:\ partition to another fileserver on the same network.  My assumption is the TS server is not handling oplocks related function as intended, but the file server is. The new server: IBM XSeries_335, Win 2003 SP2 setup for a TS role, only three ...

I dual boot WinXP Pro X32 and Windows 7 X64 Pro on separate drives and run Paradox 11 from WP Office X3 on both.  I mostly use XP and  there are no problems with Pdox after those updates but when I went to use it under Windows 7 today the Project Viewer showed no files in the working directory. Until now there was no problem with the Windows 7 installation.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Pdox and then tried to set Project Viewer to the proper working directory and it crashes.  I've tried this several times.  If I open a table with Explorer Pdox will start and open it but if I try Project Viewer it crashes.  I went to check the BDE settings but I can't seem to find BDE in the control panel or anywhere else in Windows 7.

I have used posts to this board in the past to resolve this issue, but recently installed WPOX5 on Windows7 machine and tricks that worked in the past on Windows XP do not appear to work in Windows7. I have cleared all of the registry entries of PdxRegCl and have disabled the Registry Cleaner in the start up of msConfig, but next time I start Paradox, Windows recongifures it and all of the registry entires reappear and the RegistryCleaner is back in the startUp. I cannot retain the working directory that was set in the last session and all of the established ALIASES are lost. Any assistance would be appreciated.  

I have for quite some time been unable to access the "Import, Export and Table Repair" utilities on the paradox menus.  Endless uninstall, reinstall routines; checks for existence of files such as Tutility.exe, have failed to resolve the irritation of not being able to use these functions. Recently, I installed paradox on a laptop.  It is the same operating system  as the desktop, (XP)  Lo and behold the program worked fully, and well. ( But still not on the desktop) I notice that even when I have done uninstalls, cleans and apparently everything I can find  on my drives that relate to Paradox, when I reinstall, it still knows all the aliases that I had set up previously. Obviously, there are some files deeply embeded in my hard drives somewhere, that retain information about paradox. My question is, "where are they?" "what are they?" and "Might they contain corrupted files that could cause the problems?"  Interestingly, when I choose 'Import' from the...

Hi, I have recently installed Pdx 9 and 10 on a Win7 networked machine at work. Mostly no problems once I installed the win32hlp except with the project viewer which does not give me the right click edit option for forms, reports etc... Perhaps I am missing something simple? Best, Paul.

How is it working? Are there any special modifications needed for install? I know its early but my boss is asking what the status is. thanks

I just started using Paradox 9.  (Had been using Paradox 7.) is there any way to get the right-click context sensitive menu back? For example, I often have mailing labels, and I would right-click and choose "Open With" to open with a new table.  How do I do that now? Also, I'd right-click a text file to import. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

Having used Paradox 7 on win95 thru to win 98, XP, and Win7 using the compatability tab making it WinNT with SP4 all was well, i have just installed Win8 on a text machine, and installed Pdx 7 - sadly there is no compatability drop down for WinNT SP4 - so what do i do know. The program opens, but when i go to select my data source it is telling me (or rather not allowing me to select my database on account of the OK button being greyed out). When i open Pdx direct, and then go to the Alias Manager, to manually configure to select my d/base the OK button is still grayed out. Is it easy to upgrade to Corel Paradox 11 - or does it mean re-writing loads of stuff to allow the database to actually work.. Please help.. Luckily i still have (and my clients) still are using Windows 7 or lower. M!chael

Well, please excuse my long absence.  I have been doing well until lately.  I have moved from XP to Windows 7, now my lookup tables are not working.  As a matter of fact, Paradox 9 closes down as soon as I make a selection from the table.  I really need some help here PLEASE.

I am running Paradox (forget which version) on Windows 7 64 bit and it has been running fairly well for some years.  Sometimes crashes, but doesn't corrupt data.  Just today, I developed some sort of problem that is preventing Paradox from starting.  When I try to start, I get an error:Could not initialize BDE.:, Cannot load language driver.I suspected there was something wrong in my .../Borland/Common Files/BDE directory, so I copied the BDE directory from my laptop, where Paradox still loads.  I still get the same error.  Any suggestions for a fix?ThanksDesperate Floyd.MNEVERMIND:  I uninstalled Paradox 7 and re-installed it and everything is working well.  Just have one corrupt Paradox table to fix.

Hi, has anyone had a chance to try Paradox  9 or 10 with beta versions of Windows 7?

Dear friends, I hope someone can help me with this intriguing problem: I have been using Paradox 9(Developers Edition) on VISTA for a couple of yeasr now, and generally, the problems have been few. Now I have an old project that isn't working properly, and whn I try to debug the code, the debugger goes completely blank, so I can't identify the problem. The code is very simple - it is linked to a drop-down list, and when the item has been selected, the name is used to look up related information in a table and put that information into a series of undefined fields. The problem is that the table look-up executes correctly, and the correct data is put into the required field; but the data(numeric) then changes and becomes totally unrelated to the real data. when I run the debugger, the screen goes blank and I can not follow the execution of the code.I am going crazy, can anyone help me please?many thanks in advanceAlan,

Help!!!Since I have updated Microsoft OfficeI am not able to view in Paradox 9 tables, forms, reports etc. etc. I get the message Class not registered. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, what is the solution?,

Hi Everyone, I have just been given the task of installing Paradox 9 on a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services box. I have successfully installed the software but I am at a total loss as to how to configure it to support Multiple Users.  The application and database are both installed on the same box. Hs anyone got a step by step guide to how to configure the installation. regards Shaun

Remotely supporting a user who is getting the following message on trying, to open Paradox:, , "An attempt was made to access an unknown file past it's end", , This follows a long wait with just the Paradox9 splash dialog and an hour, glass., , I couldn't find a reference to this in Bertil's error message page, and on, the web the only hits seem to be in support sites forother programs: Roxio, and Reference Manager., , Paradox 9, XP Home SP1, P4 2.2GHz, 256MB RAM (!!!  -  yes, yes, I know, but, her boss is on vacation otherwise it'd already be up to a gig), , , The same user has often got messages that her virtual memory was below, minimums, but after walking her through manually setting it to 768/1536, that may have disappeared., ,

I've been running Paradox for Windows on a desktop in the office since the mid-'90's. I'm considering providing our sales reps with Windows tablets to streamline things. They will need to print customer copies in the field. Anyone have any experience with Paradox on a tablet? , Thanks,Lauston,

I just loaded Paradox 9 on my Windows 7 computer to do a conversion for a client, and the only thing that doesn't seem to be working right is the alias/working directory situation. My installation keeps defaulting to my user directory if I try to change the working directory using an alias.

I got pdox 11 from corel and I really don't see any difference from pdox 9. Are there any real advantages or differences in pdox 11, other than pdox 11 doesn't have the menu app?Is pdox11 more compatible with Win7 than pdox9?,

Hello, I have PW 11 working in a network environment-6 work stations running Windows XP.  I just added another workstation running Window 7.  Using the same startup icon properties as in the other 6 "working" stations", I am able to run the start up script but get the error msg that I can't open the forms in design mode.  I've tried resetting the desktop PW's setting to not open forms/reports in design mode by default, but the settings seem to change back to default design mode everything I reopen PW.  Considering that everything is working ok in Windows XP, I'm thinking there's something different that PW is doing under Windows 7.  Has anyone come across this anomaly? Thanks for any help!
