It sounds like two distinct problems. The first sounds like you've included a CONFIG.FPW in your .EXE with SCREEN=OFF, and then never either started a top-level form or set _SCREEN.Visible = .T. in your startup code after adjusting the properties of the default Foxpro window to your liking.

The inability to close from Task Manager indicates that no ON SHUTDOWN has been added to your system. Adding an ON SHUTDOWN routine that does a CLEAR EVENTS before executing the VFP QUIT or CANCEL command should allow you to terminate the process through Task Manager even if the Window is left invisible.
