Is that Leslie's BDE installer? If so, IRC, the BDE parameters are set 
to what they should be, generally, for modern Windows. So it does appear 
that the BDE settings were the culprit. I recall Rodney Wise hacked the 
parameters down to a set of starting values that should be tried first. 
I can't find them at the moment but I think there's an .ini file in the 
installer that has them all listed.
