   The Dr. Watson error message means nothing to me too.   
      
   Sometimes, if a Paradox Form or Library was compiled and saved with the   
   "Compiler Warnings" and/or "Compile with Debug" options checked... you can   
   experience erratic errors or GPF errors.  Try opening the Form and or   
   Libraries it calls in Design Mode and check if these options are checked.   
   If they are checked then uncheck them then compile the file again and save   
   it.  Do this for the Form and any Libraries that it might open.   
      
   If that doesn't solve the problem and no one else jumps in with another   
   idea... then I would consider the idea that possibly there is a corrupt   
   file(s) within either the Paradox installation or the Windows OS   
   installation.... or you are experiencing an intermittent hardware failure.   
      
   I would first consider the easiest approach by removing Paradox 100% from   
   the PC then re-installing it from scratch.  Make sure to add any updated   
   Service Packs to Paradox after re-installing it and reconfigure the BDE so   
   it's identical to other PC's (of the same OS) that are known to work.  Make   
   sure that access rights are set high enough for the required Paradox   
   directories.   
      
   If that doesn't fix it, I'd then consider the idea that the Windows OS might   
   have corrupt files and possibly re-install it...   The best results is to   
   reformat the drive and install Windows from scratch...  This is a "Drastic   
   Action" and may require considerable time and pose the possible loss of   
   critical programs and data.  You will need to get ALL the service updates   
   for Windows from MS, etc. etc...  :((   
      
   Before you do any of these things... hopefully someone else here will jump   
   in with a less aggressive solution and save you the headaches involved with   
   my suggestions.   
      
   My reasoning is this... if all things are equal (the PC's settings are   
   identical to working PC's with the same OS) and you are still getting GPF   
   errors on the one PC... then the problem is either corrupted files or   
   failing Hardware.   
      
   An example of failing hardware....  I've seen problems like this because of   
   a failing CPU fan...  The fan was still spinning, but not fast enough to   
   keep the temperature of the CPU cool enough...  The over heated CPU caused   
   error messages and corrupted file writes to the HD.  After replacing the   
   fan, the errors went away.... but the OS files by that time were minced   
   meat... I had to re-install the OS.    My suspicions were directed towards   
   the CPU fan after I noticed the audible sound of its failing bearings.   
      
   For your sake... hopefully someone else here has a better idea and you will   
   not be faced with re-installing Windows.
