Hello,

Glad to see you solved the problem. Anyway, Thisform.Draw() should work no matter what. In conjunction with DOEVENTS it can refresh the form even in hard tasks as loops.

>>>Could this form change SET TALK settings? Do you have thisform.lockscreen = .t. left somewhere in the code? It also could be a bad Video Card...
