All I can think of is that you're popping a dialog box somewhere after you've shut down the Top-Level form; since it has no window context to display a message box (no top-level form, and the VFP main screen is running hidden) you could be hanging waiting on a response from the user. Try the following as a debugging effort to see if something is happening:

in your code that unloads the top-level form:

_Screen.WindowState = 1 && Minimized, appears only on the taskbar
_Screen.visible = .T. && but there's a Windows context for messages now

>>>Hello, All!
>>>I have an EXE that calls one Top-level form. Config.fpw sets SCREEN=OFF. I have CLEAR EVENTS in the Unload event, and the application seems to exit fine, except that I noticed that the task manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) shows the app still in memory!
>>>What do I do to release everything?
>>
>>QUIT
>>
>>>Thanks in advance!
