>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?

Come on Rich. Now who are you blaming? This one isn't MS's problem, is the video driver/card manufacturers. They don't follow the rules. VFP is NOT the only software that has problems with this. Try using a remote access software like PCAnywhere or ReachOut. You'd probably have problems with them too.

In this case, I can't blame MS. What are they expected to do? Program around all the other idiots that are selling hardware and drivers that don't follow the standards?

again, JHMO.
