I have had the same experience on three different PCs running Win98. I only experience this when I try to run a SDI (Single Document Interface) style exe, so I think it has something to do with SCREEN = OFF in Config.fpw and maybe ShowWindow = 2 in the form. I'm running VFP6, SP3. I asked about this in a thread a couple of days ago, but didn't get any answers. Typically I get this when trying to start the EXE by double clicking on it, but I have also gotten this when Explorer is not in use.

I have seen this in my own programs, programs written by others with the same framework and by others not using frameworks at all.

Please let me know if you find anything, and I will keep looking too.
