Paradox Setup, Vista, etc. Topic Most Read Threads

We use Paradox 10. Paradox 10 uses BDE version 5.1.1, , My Question is this can you upgrade to version 5.2 with upgrade paradox?, , I don't really want to change anything in paradox, I just want the lastest BDE. Is this possible?

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

I found a press release today on the Corel site from about a month ago with this interesting sentence:[quote]In addition, Corel has also released a special update for Paradox X4 that optimizes the database application to work with Windows Vista.[/quote] and later on[quote]In addition to downloading and installing SP1, customers who wish to run WordPerfect Office X4 Professional including Paradox X4 on Windows Vista should contact Corel to request a specific Paradox update that optimizes the software to work with Microsoft's latest operating system. Offered on CD, the update is available free to registered users in North America by contacting Corel Customer Support at 1-800-772-6735.[/quote] I only have X3 and I don't yet have Vista. Has anyone got the update and tried it? whole press release - [...Corel deleted or moved press release...]

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

I notice that Corel's website does not include Vista in its list of supported OS's for WordPerfect Office. Has anyone tried Paradox under Vista?

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.

Does not start any more (PDXWIN32.exe). Only see a fast Flash of Paradox Initial Screen. Uninstalled and Instaled again, but still does not start. Other apps from the Corel WordPerfect Package. start Ok , On another PC with Paradox 10 it works ok after the Creators Update., Has anybody this problem?

I recently instslled Pdox9 on a network computer (locally). The programme I develop ran well . However, when the user logged on, and tried to run Pdox9, we got the following message:, , Paradox Error, Network initialization failed, Directory :C\, File: C:\PDOXUSRS.NET, , Cannot Access network locked file., Continue with network disabled?, , On clicking 'Yes', the following message appeared:, , Could not initialize BDE.:, Network initialization failed, Directory C:\, File: C:\PDOXUSRS.NET, , I know that there is someone out there who can solve the problem. I am asking for some assistance. Thank you very much.

Dear Board Members, we have been running paradox for many years, and have Paradox 11 from WP Office Pro 12, installed with a SBS server network and Xp clients. Now have two Windows 7 machines. They run paradox okay but the printing is a real problem as some selections for printers are not working correctly. Has anyone tried the X5 version of Paradox and has anything changed that would make a difference running on Windows 7 machines. The Corel site has very few details and could not even get there pdf to work. Many thanks

Hi,, Is there going to be a Paradox 10? I noticed in the write-up Corel put out for their new office package it was not mentioned., Any word rumours?, Thanks

Has anyone had any experience with running a Paradox 10 Application (via Runtime) on a Citrix Server or any multi-user environment., , We are currently running our apps on a variety of Windows op sys / desktop pc's. We are interested in possibly moving to a Citrix Server but have no experience. What are the differences between the two? And any stags we may face...., , Thanks for the help!

When I try to launch Experts in Paradox 11 the following error message is displayed -- , , "A library or table required to run the experts could not be opened. The Paradox error message is %1", , How do I correct this so experts will run the documentation feature?, , I have reinstalled but still get the error., , TIA, , Patricia Moss

I have a problem with one of my procedures hanging up when sent to the printer. The data doesn't seem to clear out of the tables and the next time that procedure is run it starts to print and ends up with a GPF fault and the process freezes. If I maunally empty the table it will run fine for a couple of times and then GPF again. Any ideas on what I can do to. This is the only procedure I have a problem with.

According to a post by Tony McGuire to comp.databases.paradox, Corel's lawyers have sent a "cease and desist" letter saying that the use of the domain names ParadoxCommunity.com and ParadoxDay.com will no longer be permitted., So what is it with Corel, that they don't want anybody saying something good about their product and drumming up interest?, Sheesh!

Two years ago, our office switched from Paradox 5 to Access 2000, however, I kept all my original Paradox files in our network shared drive. Since our IT director does not care for MS products, we never switched to Word and Excel, but upgraded WordPerfect and QuattroPro without Paradox. This caused a lot of integration problems and the resulting decision was to switch back to Paradox. We now have Paradox 10 and I need to start the conversion process once again. I was attempting to open one of the old Paradox databases I created to see if I could just update them. Although the forms will open, the tables will not. The error message I get is "Unknown Internal operating system error" and it refers to a file named "PDOXUSRS.LCK". This causes the forms to open with blank fields since it cannot read the table. Any ideas on what is causing this?

Any ideas on how to resolve this error when clicking on the table lookup tab in the table info dialogue?  Running Win XP Service Pak 2, and Paradox 11.0.0.411. Access violation at address 00A7F6AC in module 'PXDCRT32.dll'. Read of address 00000000.

Hi there For those of you still running Paradox I can tell you, that it runs very well on Windows 10. No errors and very fast and stable. No problems with BDE either. Only problem we have is using PDFCreator printing PDF directly in the code. But only in some cases. Need to check my code for this. No need to change for anything else due to new Windows version. Atleast we will stick to our Paradox solution as long as we can. Peter

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., ,

Hi All, I have a very weird issue that I wonder if anyone else has seen or resolved.  Running Pdox 11.0.0.411 on Windows 7, I get an Unexpected General Protection Violation EVERY time I pass my mouse over a point on the Status Bar just above where the Start button on the Task Bar is located and anywhere to the left side of the Pdox window from that point to the left. This happens whether I have Auto Hide activated or not for the task bar.  Aside from the aggravation, it does not seem to have any impact on my data or or anything else.  This happens on more than one of my computers with the same configuration.,

I seems to have successfully loaded Paradox 10 (from WPO 2002). However, I am having problems in the data model. 1.) The table lables are not entirely readable 2.) Linking tables is doable, except that te screen gets "smudgy." If I drag the DM window down and back up, the image is clear. Loading the windows help program from MS did not work, but I haven't given this much energy and am not sure that I was doing it properly.

I've recently installed Paradox 13 (v11.0.0.411) on a new winxp system. I made all the usual customizations in the BDE - and those work fine. But within Paradox I set a number of things, including window size/location, working directory, and various other preferences. Now the odd part is that about once a day or so (no pattern than I've been able to find so far) when I launch Paradox, it acts like I've never set any preferences reverting to the default settings., , Any suggestions as to why this is happening?, , (I've been using many versions of Paradox on many computers over the years, but I've never had this problem before!), , -David
