你没有提到是否尝试调整虚拟内存设置。 BDE错误2501是虚拟内存不足错误。一些可能有帮助的文章：

• BDE Sharedmem修复（较旧的）


• 具体记忆中的事情来检查/修复

I have a small datasnap server written in Delphi 2007 that accesses the BDE. It works fine on Windows 2000 and XP but from time to time (actually quite regularly) on Vista I get the error message:

An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2501)

Closing everything down that uses the BDE fixes the error (although you sometimes need to "End Process" the datasnap server to close it).

This is becoming rather annoying as more and more of our clients are running Vista for their "server". Does anyone have any suggestions?

You haven't mentioned if you've tried adjusting the virtual memory settings. BDE error 2501 is an "insufficient virtual memory" error. Some articles that may help:

• BDE Sharedmem fix (older)
• Specific memory walk through of things to check/fix
