Have you checked the event logs on these machines to see if they are reporting 
anything related to RBase.  Also check your DEP (Data Execution Prevention)  
See if it is set for All programs and Services, and if so, add RBase as an 
exception. Or change it to essential windows and programs.

I have also seen something like this on a monitor/graphics card issue where it 
would cause a resolution change or refresh and the RBase Program would 
"Disappear" but stay running in task manager.  You would see a graphics issue 
in the event log of the machine if this was the case.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Rbase blinks out continually.

Good morning everyone,

I'm trying to research an old problem and see if anyone has any ideas.  I've 
reported this problem to Rbase but can't cause the problem to happen and so I 
can't get the problem fixed.  This problem seems to be happening on my Windows 
7 desktop in a Windows Server environment.  We have 30 workstations and 18 
databases, all similar.  One or more users can be accessing a database at any 
moment in addition to TerraScribe/Script with Oterro.  How many users are 
logged in at the time of the error are unknown.  Here's what happens.

1.  15 to 20 times each day Rbase will terminate (blink out).  Timeout = 0
2.  Rbase is always idle when it happens.
3.  Sometimes I'll be at an R prompt, sometimes not.
4.  Sometimes I'll have an edit screen up, sometimes not.
5.  Sometimes I'll have multiple databases open on my desktop, sometimes not.
6.  I'll usually reorg my database immediately when this happens thinking that 
there's an integrity issue with the database.  This doesn't seem to have any 
effect.

Any ideas everyone?  Thanks for reading...
