Joe,

I take it that this is the same problem you wrote about earlier????

Have you done *anything* to your video card/drivers recently?? Or even changed monitors???

WHat resolution are you running at? With what brand/type of video card? What are your Win seetings set to?

Have you fiddled with *ANY* BIOS settings recently?? (cache or shadowing or interleaving come to mind)?

A few clues would help us a lot - some things *can* be related, even if they don't appear to be. We had the biggest whiner of all here a few weeks back and I'm convinced his problems were related to an unusual combination of software which, though he valued them, probably didn't work well together. But he preferred to balme VFP and MS despite not one other person having problems anything like his.

good luck
