While doing a large update on a remote table using the "Command" window, I like to have SET TALK ON so I can see the progress of the record count that shows in the lower left hand corner of the screen. I know this slows things down but when I'm updating a million+ records it's nice know where you are in the process. If I leave the computer for a while and the screen saver comes on the record count freezes - even after the FoxPro screen is restored after the screen saver mode end (wakes up). The update is still running in the backgound but the record count does not change.

Is there a way to stop "TALK" output from "freezing," if the system goes into "screen saver" mode?

Thanks,
Robert
