1.
This looks like a DE-system (Development System) which 'll show the _SCREEN of VFP. If this is the case, put a _SCREEN.Visible = .F. in the early stage of the init of your app.
Can alo be the other way around : you don't have DE, but _SCREEN.Visible is somewhere set to .T.
Other hunch : your "blank" screen may be a black screen, implying a Dos-call.

2.
Looks similar to opening a Class and don't perform any changes; I have it with some classes, and it implies that something is wrong in the VCX. What ? I never found out. It just thinks you changed something derived from base-info which is not consistent. I don't suppose this is your situation, but you 'll never know (what's in your app -> you might manipulate classes).
