Hi Jim.

>I have run into major problems running SP2 on Vista with Aero turned on, not running in Admin mode. Forms lose title bars, forms leave their image on other forms they are dragged over, the Close button at the top right of the form turns into a strange gray X when you click on it. On XP, or Vista with Aero turned off, or Vista running as Administrator the problems do not manifest themselves. I uninstalled VFP completely, reinstalled it, then applied SP 2.

This happens with forms with BorderStyle set to something other than 3-Sizable. This also happens in RTM and SP1 and was supposed to be fixed in SP2, but there are several workarounds:

- Set BorderStyle to 3, MinHeight and MaxHeight to Height, and MinWidth and MaxWidth to Width, so the form can't be resized.

- Set Desktop to .T. This has other issues you need to be aware of, but has the added bonus of making the form support Aero Glass (ie. transparent border, etc.)

- See Calvin's blog (don't have the URL here at home) from 04/27/2007 for a hack.

- Tracy Pearson found that adding ACTIVATE WINDOW (This.Name) IN SCREEN (for forms inside top-level forms, use the name of the TLF instead of SCREEN) to Activate resolved the issue.
