When's the last time you reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything? It's a Windows machine, after all. I'm not sure what could be going on, but if my machine starts getting flakey and I haven't reformatted in awhile, I start considering that possibility.

>The files have been saved many times before. When I hit the red "X" after making changes vfp asks me if I want to save the changes. I click "Yes" and it saves the scx & sct files. When the "poof" deal occurs, after I click "Yes" it gives me the error message, asks if I want to send a msg to ms, and throws me out to the the desktop.
