Clipper is tool to extend and expand the Windows clipboard. Clipper provides a seemless, intuitive interface that keeps track of past text clipboard entries in a searchable history queue of up to.

Hi Charlie, Since this application is very old, we are not sure if it can support the Windows 7, and with the compatibilty mode to the earlier system. Does it use other components, could you please ensure the components have been installed and can run in Windows 7; on the other hand, please try to use the way in below article: Other ywas, could you please try to run it in some third part DOS simulation environment, such as.

Thanks Bob, Yesterday, I spent my time just to figure it out and thank God, I fixed it. I never used third party software because it will be harder to the users.

I found out that these 2 necessary files (himem.sys, setver.exe) were transferred at%SystemRoot% system32 before%SystemRoot%. So I made a modification in my config.nt and autoexec.nt and it works.

I have one last problem. When I launch the system, the DOS says 'emm386 not installed - protected mode software already running' but after that the system goes well. Derevyannie fermi chertezhi3940891. I searched the said file and didn't find it but in XP the file is present. Hi Charlie, Sorry for my mistake that I do not explain this parameter -- NOEMS. It is a parameter of the EMM386.exe. Since you turn on the himem.sys.

System will builds the XMS (), and use EMM386.exe to set the EMS (). EMS is a paging space that can be used by a lot of software; while the scope for the useage of XMS is very small, with NOEMS parameter can prevent DOS to distribute XMS to EMS.

For your scenario, I think the application should not be affected by this value. Sincerely, Bob Bao [MSFT] MSDN Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

I am a novice programmer running and maintaining a few clipper programs at my business and at home. I use Clipper 5.2 and run the programs on XP Home SP3. I assume I will have to get WIN 7 when one of my three machines needs replacing. I have been reading about clipper programs and 16, 32 and 64 bit operating systems on this site and am concerned about continuing to be able to use my clipper programs for some years to come.

Is the standard version of WIN 7 32 bit? (With 64 bit being an “upgrade” option) 2. Do I understand correctly that my current programs WILL run under the 32 bit WIN 7 but not 64 bit? If question #1 is true, then I need to be careful to get the standard WIN 7) 3. I’ve seen references to Harbour and XHarbour and looked at their websites.

But if Question #2 is true then I don’t need to transfer to a different compiler, unless the programs were too sluggish. But IF I need to change compilers would Harbour be better than XHarbour for a real novice like me? I know this forum doesn’t get much use now. Is there any better site for people like me still using Clipper?

Thanks for the help RE: Clipper EXE's in 16, 32, 64 bit (MIS) 17 Sep 12 09:51. Hi Hardyone I also maintain a bunch of legacy clipper apps (Summer '87, 5.x) and have migrated them to newer hardware successfully. Here are my personal opinions on your questions (others may disagree): 1. Neither 32 or 64 bit Win 7 is 'standard', but 64 is more commonly used.

The big advantage is more memory addressability. The downside may be a lack of 64-bit drivers for older hardware (such as printers). Yes, 16 bit apps (Clipper 5.x for example) will run under Win7-32 very much like under XP. However, if you get Win 7 64 Professional, you can install XP-mode (free download), which is a fully licensed XP pro which runs under Win 7 in a virtual machine. That is the configuration I use on my support machines, because then I can run both 16 and 32 bit programs concurrently. So your existing programs still run under XP, but can run in windows on the Win 7 desktop, which is quite seamless. I use xHarbour for new programs or revisions to existing ones, because it gives 32 bit executables compatible with any Windows version, runs MUCH faster, and doesn't hog the CPU on input loops.
