SYMPTOMS
========
After issuing an @ SAY command that follows a SET DEVICE to PRINTER command, the
following error occurs:
Memory is low, so streaming output updating has been disabled.
Subsequent operations in Windows 95 may become sluggish due to a possible loss of
memory resources.
STATUS
======
This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0a.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. In the Command window, enter the following two lines:
SET DEVICE to PRINT && press the <Enter> key at the end
@1,2 SAY '' && of each of these lines.
NOTE: The following message appears in a pop-up dialog box: "Memory is low, so
streaming output updating has been disabled."
2. Click OK to remove the message box.
3. In the Command window, enter the following line:
@3,2 SAY "Print out this test line"
NOTE: When issuing the @...SAY command, ensure the Windows 95 desktop is visible.
Observe the second @ SAY command or any other subsequent @...SAY command causes
the desktop icons to flash.
NOTE: A workaround to this problem is to SET PRINTER ON, SET DEVICE TO PRINT and
issue the print statement using the question marks ("?"). A SET PRINTER OFF and
SET PRINTER TO command should be issued once the print statements are completed.
