I haven't run any apps like this in several years (about 7). The conditions were FPW2.6 .SPR's run on W95 systems under VFP5. When a screen saver kicked in or if you minimized VFP while an .SPR form was active, when the screen restored, the form was blank. It was still "live", you just couldn't see anything. I have no idea if W98/W2K/XP have this same effect, they weren't out yet when we did this.
