One thing we found for this issue is to make sure you don't run 256 color mode. That tends to always make that happen. Even then some screen savers still cause that. Anything that causes the pallette to redraw will cause this behaviour but running 256 colors is most likely to cause it.

>>Hi
>>We are porting our old 2.6 app into Visual FoxPro 6.0
>>
>>We thus have a situation where we have a 6.0 application calling and displaying old 2.6 SPRS (and introducing new VFP screens replacements as we go)
>>
>>The problem is this - if the Window screensaver cuts in when our app is running, the 2.6 screens display becomes corrupted! ie all group boxes, labels, static objects etc are lost. Al that is left are active fields ie text boxes, list boxes.
>>
>>Anyone help with this?

>>TIA
