>>>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?

I didn't mean in the config, but as one of the first lines in the main program. But I don't think FPW had any OOP, did'nt that start with VFP3?
