October 20, 200025 yr We have some clients that have Filemaker 4.1 running on a Dell Poweredge server, which is using the NT operating system. Is it possible that having the Filemaker 4.1 open with the databases open will run down the system resources? It has 128Mb Ram on the server and an 8Gb hard drive. They say that the server started running slowly a couple months ago, and they think it's the filemaker. I know that minimum specs for 4.1 is like 16Mb ram and stuff, so I don't think it's the Filemaker at all, but just want to be sure. Thanks
October 20, 200025 yr At my "main job" we have 4.1 running on an NT server with no problems. I would look at your database structure, layouts, etc.
October 25, 200025 yr Well, FMP might only need 16MB but what does NT require? Though 128MB used to be a lot it aint much any more. However I'd go straight out and try defragmenting the machine's hard disk. Cheap and easily done. Let us know what happens.
