Thanks for the reply, Brandon. My system is set to turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only. This is happening with the VFP 9 runtime as well as any executable I create. I can't add the dll to DEP exceptions, so I'm not sure how well that will work. Will let you know.

All my production machines are prior to Win8.1 so far, but my dev machines are 8.1, and I don't want to have to run in a VM. Does anyone have an alternative to allow writing a signature to a file and displaying later? Or am I stuck creating yet another .NET component and accessing from my increasingly aging VFP environment (sigh)?
