Steve,
1) You could set window of wait to an off screen position.
2) You don't need visible=.f. in code (and actually not the recommend way). Instead have:
screen=off
in config.fpw

I don't know why visible = .t. cure it. I suspect a modal state but not sure.
PS: Are you sure in both cases you just start the exe and do not touch kb/mouse.
