I am having same problem. VFP 5.0 Win95
At first I was having trouble with config.fpw not being used. I found that it is expected to be in the distribution subdirectory, in other words the *first* directory. This may not be the same as your .exe directory.

Once is was sure is was loading the config.fpw by 1. setting TITLE=mytitle and 2. wait window sys(2019), then I found that none of the other config.fpw commands were functional.
none of these work:
_screen.visible=.f.
_screen.caption=xxx
_screen=off
screen=off

MS KB suggests that there is a work around by renaming the config.fpw and using the -C option. I am trying variations of that now.
