>Thanks, Fred, but I just searched my hard drive for FoxUser.dbf, and there's just one, in the VFP9 folder. (I un-installed VFP7 first and then installed VFP9.) So that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Absolutely it gets re-created, unless you have a CONFIG.FPW with RESOURCE=OFF in it. If you don't have one though, you won't be able to store some of your system settings. Not everything gets stored in the registry.

Try deleting that FOXUSER.DBF (and .FPT) file that you found. It will get recreated and see if things work better.
