Alan, There are a number of reasons why this might happen... Some recently installed or updated software overwrote some .dll files that we use and the newer .dll is not backward compatible. Something has corrupted your video driver and it needs to be updated/reinstalled. You have developed a weak spot on your hard drive and the file being read is not being read accurately. I suppose there are other possibilities too.
In any case, you will need to investigate those sorts of things. If all else fails, I suggest you follow the steps in the help file for reinstalling DXbase. It is important that you follow those steps to completely remove DXbase before reinstalling; otherwise, simply reinstalling over the top without removing DXbase first will not overwrite all the files and in your case, I think it is necessary to insure you get a complete reinstall.
