>>Ran into an odd situation with a customer running an older FPW 2.6 app on XP SP2 (32-bit). Application seems to be "invisible" -- i.e. main window does not seem to appear. No error is displayed about "divide-by-zero" nor problems with the 16-bit subsystem. Task manager shows the usual "wowexec.exe" and "foxw2600.esl" as if the program is running. Checked for CONFIG.FPW and CONFIG.FP files and haven't the usual culprits (e.g. SCREEN=OFF). When running the application on another computer (same copy of program from a share), the application shows up as expected. Anybody run across this situation before?

You can put "good morning" in the config, just the same :).

_screen is an object.

(update: I tried it. I put a line with "dobro jutro" in config.fpw and nothing happened - Fox just started up fine)
