You bet I have. Reporting problems to MS is a dead-end street. You always get somebody who's fresh outta college and doesn't know beans about software development. And, without exception, their *solution* is to re-format my drive and re-install all my software - a nice 3 day job for which I do not get paid. This (re-format, re-install), BTW, was done just 3 weeks ago, problems persist...Guess I'll try dumbing down my system by using the standard SVGA drivers and see what happens...Also, my group is seeing problems using a variety of video cards and drivers (Mystique, Millenium, #9, and S3), if VFP is so damn picky about the video, perhaps they oughtta fix that problem, huh?
