1) you should give a title to the post that describes your pb, it's
easier for us to answer you, and for others that might have the same
problem later on, to search archive.
2) Before to ask somethg, please search the archive of this newsgroup
at http://groups.google.com
, your question had probably already been
asked and answered.
Search for example for "clipper XP <number or title of your error>"
3) Clipper apps can run under XP and Vista, mainly if they were
already running under w2k. If it isn't linked with blinker 7, you
probably will have to upgrade your linker, or to migrate to [x]harbour
(see below)
4) As Stephen said, without any indication, it's hard to help you.

Once more, if you search this newgroup or have a look on the FAQ
regularly posted here, you should find lots of answers.
You'll have to migrate your app to harbour www.harbour-project.org/
(free) , to xHarbour www.xharbour.org (free), or to xharbour.com
http://www.harbour.com
(comercial, based on xharbour.org with lots of
add-ons)
The 3 of them are 99% clipper compatible, so you should be able to
compile your code as is and obtain a win32 console application, with
some minor changes. From there you can use one of the GTs or of the
GUI-libs available (some free, other comercial).
There was an extensive discussion on this very subject few days ago on
comp.lang.xharbour (server : news.xharbour.org), and if you search
that newsgroup on the subject, you'll find many threads, it's a
recurent subject.
