Bob,

This will not affect your customers, only the appearance of your app. However
change the VGA driver only in order to see if this is the problem. We had lot's of problems with the S3 driver, for example. Also - if your using an HP
printer driver - try using an older version. If you find any of these help -
you're (almost) home free.

P.S. - these problems crop up with all VS apps - not only VFP
