Hello, Helen.
Maybe the first thing you can try is to reinstall VFP. The best approach if something is corrupted is to uninstall ALL Visual Studio (as usual, restart the machine), and install the whole thing from zero.

If you are using VFP 5 (I think it's a typo as you said later that tou installed SP3), upgrade to VFP6. If it is VFP6 try SP6, although your problem doesn't seem to be related with any SP, is always better to be up to date.

If your Win98 is installed since a long time and you have installed and deinstalled a good deal of software (as most of us do all the time), maybe Win98 is causing problems. You can eventually reinstall it or jump to NT Workstation, Win2000 (just my preference if you are developing all the time). They are both much more stable and not so easily turn down by heavy usage.

Of course, you can check your video and printer drivers.

What do you try first is just a matter of your expirience and possibilities.

I'm sure that other members can give you another set of ideas.

Good luck.
