Program runs but no screen displayed - OS: WinXP 1

Problem running vfp6.0 application
Copied vfp6r.dll and vfp6renu.dll to c:\windows\system32
Recomplied the exe in vfp7.0.
Ran a setup.bat file --
c:
md avhdnc
f:cd f:\configfp
f:\configfp\editauto.exe
adds SET FOXPROWCFG=C:\CONFIG.FPW to c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

copy f:\configfp\trainrec.dbf c:copy f:\configfp\*.fpw c:copy f:\configfp\*.txt c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.fpw c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.dbf c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.fpt c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.bat c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.esl c:\fpw26
copy f:\hold\configfp\*.esl c:copy f:\configfp\*.exe c:\avhdnc
copy f:\configfp\*.cdx c:\avhdnc
rem visual files
copy f:\configfp\*.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
copy f:\configfp\*.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
copy f:\configfp\*.ini C:\WINDOWS
rem nt files
copy f:\configfp\*.dll c:\winnt\system
copy f:\configfp\*.exe c:\winnt\system
copy f:\configfp\*.ini c:\winnt
copy f:\configfp\*.dll c:\winnt\system32
copy f:\configfp\*.exe c:\winnt\system32


This made it work on my XP computer but not on another XP user's machine.
The program runs but the screen is not diplayed.

Those are the Visual Foxpro 6 runtimes. And you say you recompiled using VFP 7?
If you're going to use that sort of install, you need the VFP 7 runtimes.

I should have added that the copied files did contain VFP runtimes. I will furnish the list. They were added to both c:\windows\system and c:\windows\system32 directories.
vfp7r.dll,vfp7t.dll,msvcp70.dll,msvcr70.dll,vfp7chs.dll,vfp7cht.dll,vfp7enu.dll,vfp7kor.dll,vfp7rchs.dll,vfp7rcht.dll,vfp7rcsv.dll,vfp7rdeu.dll,vfp7renu.dll,vfp7resn.dll,vfp7rfra.dll,vfp7rkor.dll,vfp7rrus.dll,
vfpcab.dll,vfpodbc.dll,vfpole50.dll,vfp5enu.dll,vfp6r.dll,vfp6renu.dll
Thanks!

Dhart,

Have you got a config.fpw file? If so, look for this line:
SCREEN=OFF
If you find it, delete it.

That did it! Our standard config.fpw does not have this line of code. But you got me thinking, I checked the directory from which the program runs and found another project had created a config.fpw that had that line of code. Removing it did the trick.
Thanks!!
