I think that's the problem. I also noticed that when I run the compiled app outside of foxpro, I don't have the problem. It's only when I run it from inside that it doesn't close down correctly.

As far as the location of the .PIF file, I think it needs to be wherever your run-time files are located for FoxPro.

The black marks may be caused by the transparent setting of the label. This was a problem with the run-time of FPW under W95. Are you running FPW or VFP? I don't think this is a problem with VFP.
