Hi,

Does the icon ever change if you don't move the mouse?

I think I've seen the same sort of behaviour but never bothered to try to track it down.

I suppose it's possible that hardware problems could be responsible. One errant mouse position report reaching windows might be enough to trigger the change. And I suppose there could be a bug in VFP - it changes the cursor itself during things like SQL-SELECTS....

Regards,
Viv
