I face these probs with Win 2K and NT, haven't checked out with XP. The monitor and cards are the normal ones and they dont have any Graphics Acceleration capabilities. I suspect VFP Refresh failure as the issue because if I ALT-Tab into some other open application or minimise and maximise the VFP application, everything comes up correctly. Is there some way to do so from within the application without causing a flicker or disappearing of the application from the desktop?

Thanx for your suggestion.

>Try reducing the Graphics acceleration for your video card. In XP, that's right click on the desktop, choose "Properties", Setting tab, Advanced button. Then on the Troubleshoot tab, reduce the hardware acceleration slider.
