Another update --

I installed all the video drivers I dared to, and VFP6 still blew
up every time I tried to save any report in my little baby project.
This is with the driver that came with the PC, plus VGA and SVGA.

Not only that, but it scrambled the FAT tables on my hard drive.
It took a few successive scandisk operations to rid the drive of
cross-linked files, files with the wrong size in the FAT tables,
and files that were not in the directories that the FAT tables had
in their indexes. One of these files was my video driver on one
occasion. This is really dangerous and could be very destructive.

Then I took some stuff off of another machine to make room for a
second installation of VFP6. I may need some of that again, and
I don't know if I can reconstruct it, but I have to get this dumb
thing done or write off the last two weeks as revenue challenged.
The old machine has an ARK Logic 2000PV PCI Video adapter, totally
different manufacturer and everything, and it also blew up when I
tried to save the first report in the project.

It also scrambled some of the FAT indexes. I had done a clean
scandisk right before this operation, and afterwards files were
crosslinked, and incorrectly indexed as to size and folder.

However, it is not blowing up so far when I do other work. So
I finally get to use this Thing for something besides exercising
my patience threshold.

I'll keep posting here for the benefit of anybody who comes along
after me on this path. But beware of rogue applications that
scramble your drives.
