Do you have a CONFIG.FPW? Does it set the screen off? I seem to remember reading there's a problem with this. You might search the messages for the topic.

P.S. I doubt your DLLs need to be in your exe dir.

>I have an exe written in vfp 6 that refuse to run on a machine that does not have vfp loaded. The required dlls are loaded, I have placed them in the root dir of the exe but left them in the windows/system dir, the install was built and done via the setup wizard. My first executable line is on error, but it crashes before it gets there. I keep getting invalid path or file name, then a gpf from kernel32. After three days of debugging this silly thing, I am going nuts. Please help, I am totaly out of ideas.
