Dos Program: PFS First Choice on XP SP2

[Perry Ellsworth]

Hi all I've got a serious but common problem with running PFS First Choice
(A dos program) on XP SP2. I did get it working on XP prior to SP2 (once)
using instructions from dgr on 18 May 2004. Now all I get no matter what I
do is error 6009.

Anyone still able to run this program on XP after the SP2 upgrade plz msg me
as this is a very urgent request.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, Perry.

I have no personal experience with Error 6009 - or with PFS First Choice.
But a quick Search for "error 6009" at http://support.microsoft.com turned
up 7 hits. The first one says it applies to WinNT but you might find some
clues in it:

Runtime Error 6009 - Default Environment Size
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;119365

The Environment size can be controlled via properties > memory > Initial
Environment

I have set this to various settings such as 1024 , 2048 4096 , and auto.

No result, If you would like further information I could send the following
files:

%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT

I also could supply the instructions I used to get it going on XP prior to
SP2 (Maybe a strange conincidence)

Maybe someone else has had some experience with PFS First Choice in XP
Environments. Or other Dos program
experiences under XP, might be an interesting conversation at least

Thanks in advance,
