I have been testing on my Laptop with Vista Windows Aero and transparancy turned off. I leave the VFP9 SP1 EXE running on minimized and not too long the windows command bar starts to become corrupted. The time disappears, the icon shortcuts disappear and the running applications that are on the task bar all move the the left where the icon shorcuts were. I can not run any other programs.
The only way to recover is to ctrl-alt-del and logoff and log back on or reboot. Has anyone else seen this behaviour with Vista? The VFP9 SP1 EXE works fine on XP.
