Hi Folks



A client of mine is upgrading their machines from Windows 98 to WIndows XP.
In one case, they brought in a NEW machine with XP, installed R:Base 6.5++
DOS again, and it runs our application just fine.



On the second, they took the SAME machine and changed it from 98 to XP. In
the process, they uninstalled 6.5++ and then installed it again.



On this machine, at first they weren't getting a full screen. I helped them
with that by setting up a new icon that runs a batch file that in turn runs
RBase (paths are OK), and setting the properties on the Options Tab to "full
screen".



However, they are now getting a very strange "ghosting" effect, as they
describe it to me. First the commands in the batch show on the screen even
when in R:Base.  Second, when they select an item in the menu which brings
up an editing screen, and then leave that screen to return to the menu
(created with a CHOOSE command from a PULLDOWN block in an APX file), the
record just edited remains on screen in the background even though the form
has been closed. It isn't the form - it runs fine on the other machine.



We checked the system variables - TEMP, TMP, FILES, BUFFERS - the latter two
were missing but we added them in. No effect..



Anyone seen anything like this before? Have any ideas what to do?  They have
more PC's to upgrade but they're on hold until we figure this on out!
