>This is clearly a problem with my Video Driver. I have 'Plug and Play Monitor' under Monitors in Control Panel\Settings\System and my colleague has ViewSonic some number. We both have the same resolution High Color (16 bit) 800 x 600, but I have lots of problems today. Help for VFP isn't shown properly (e.g. I see dots and blanks there) and there are couple of other strange effects on my forms...

>I reported this problem to our Network Administrator, hopefully he can help me (I sent him several e-mails to reminder). Do you have suggestions, I can try?
You might try a different resolution or color depths (256 colors, vs. 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit colors). Some video driver problems appear only on certain resolutions or color depths.
I very much doubt this helps, but you can give it a try!
