No I think that you need to add clear events to the click method.

The program will not go beyond read events until you issue clear events. At least that is how I under stand it. Someone tell if I'm wrong.

In win95(8) if you press Ctrl-Alt-Del you get the task manger (a list of running programs). If you run your exe and close the form then call task manager is your program still listed.

Email me your stripped down copy and i'll take a look at it later tonight. Meantime I'll email you my copy. see if it runs ok on your machine. (maybe it is happening to fast on my machine to see)
