SYMPTOMS
The Help Compiler (HC31.EXE or HC35.EXE) that comes with Visual FoxPro and FoxPro for Windows version 2.6 Professional Edition can, on occasion, return an error not documented by the Help Compiler. The error is:

Run-Time error R6915 - DOSX16: Unhandled Exception



CAUSE
This error is caused by the configuration of the computer. It may be a memory conflict or a device driver or TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program.



RESOLUTION
The solution to the problem is to "clean boot" the computer. This means restarting the computer with a minimal CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and removing all unnecessary drivers and TSRs from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
