>*!  A 15-30 Minute VFP9 Brain Teaser!
>*!
>*!  We recently compiled some code that up until version 9.0 had been
>*!  running fine.  It was initially developed in 2.6 DOS(!) and adapted to run in
>*!  both DOS and Windows and worked fine up through VFP6.  However, with VFP9
>*!  running XP it developed a symptom we are sure is an easy catch for somebody
>*!  with just a little more VFP9 experience than us!
>*!
>*!  The following program sets up and displays a menu on the screen.  If you use
>*!  the up and down arrows it works fine.  If you hit the letter it works fine.
>*!  However, if you use the mouse, the menu blanks out when the pointer 'flys-over'
>*!  the menu buttons.  They are still active and you can select them but something
>*!  is either not refreshing, or blanking out the screen.
>*!
>*!  We initially tested it on Server 2003 and it works fine with VFP9.  You just
>*!  get this behavior with XP.  It is probably a default property that has to be
>*!  set but we can not seem to find it.
>*!
>*!  Any Help would be appreciated!!!
