   BDE error on opening P9   
   09 Jan 08 17:05:35   
   
   From: Malcolm@indaal.demon.co.uk   
      
   I've recently started moving software from my Win2000 box to one running   
   XP Pro.   
      
   I've just installed Paradox 9,  but every time I try and start it, I get   
   the splash screen very briefly and then this error message:   
      
     Could not initialize BDE.: Insufficient shared memory available.   
      
   I've been on the net but haven't found anything completely equivalent   
   except that  this message can occur if one tries to run two copies of   
   Paradox at once. I'm not.   
      
   I'd be grateful for advice as to how to get it going.   
      
   My BDE is version 5 with the files like Idapi32.dll, etc., dated   
   19/11/1999.
