Once again, this worked the first time, but subsequent changes and re-creation of the .exe gave me the same results in the reports but now the screen background was blue of course (the screen still flashed black before it switched to blue though).

I'd bet on it being video driver related; to prove this out, try switching temporarily to the standrd VGA or SuperVGA driver from Microsoft rather than the vendor-supplied drivers. If the problem goes away, you've found the culprit.

I'd also try a different machine, just to make sure it wasn't a problem with the video card itself.
