Hello, I think I may have solved the Vista freak out problem. I posted the problem in the VFPx forum and Doug Hennig answered that he had experienced the problem and also heard from another person that had the same problem.
The problem is caused by updating the main forms caption with a timer. I use a timer to display the data and time in the main forms caption. Apparently Vista freaks out when the caption is update to much. Thanks Vista. I disabled the timer and the program is working good now. I would have never guessed that was going to be a problem. Doug said that Vista SP1 may have fixed the problem (hope so)...
