Hi Gary,

Most likely your video card driver is the problem, try to get an updated driver. It can also be another driver, but it is certainly not XP itself. I have VFP8 running under WINXP pro without any problems on around 10 PCs.

BTW, have you updated to VFP8 SP1 and WINXP SP1?

I can be in the IDE, maybe with a program open, nothing actually going on, walk away from the machine for 5 minutes, come back and there is the "An error has occured in Foxpro, do you want to send a report to MS" type dialog. Sometimes, this immediately happens when switching from the debug window back to the VFP IDE or, if I click on another application like my e-mail client.
