>We have some developers in our department that are experiencing a strange problem. Sometimes when VFP errors their errorbox comes up blacked out. This errorbox is supposed to show the standard VFP error. This also occurs in the command window, when an error occurs the error box comes up but you cant read it because it is blacked out. Has anyone else seen this or know of a fix?

I think the error routine must use the windows dial control. If you use the messagebox function do you get the same error? A workaround might be to activate an error handler when starting the dev environment and display errors using your own form (cheesy I know). Otherwise I would suggest a call to MS.
