If it's present in Task Manager but not visible on the screen, it's likely that you have explicitly hidden the main VFP window.

Either: you have [tt]SCREEN.Visible = .F.[/tt] or [tt]_SCREEN.Hide[/tt] somewhere in your program, probably near the beginning;

Or: you have a CONFIG.FPW file that contains the line [tt]SCREEN = OFF[/tt].

So start by checking the above two possibilities. If you find the offending line, remove it.

(A good way to search a project for some specific code is to use Code References on the Tools menu.)

If this doesn't help, report back.

Mike

The first could be a problem of hiding screen but having forms (by default) in screen, so you see nothing but the task can be found.

But the dbf corruption problem just from starting an exe. Well, what does it do? Do you have any initial routine of using some packing or automatic fixiing on tables, which, if started twice, could lead to problems?

I think we'd need to see your code to see what's going on, there is no generally known OS/runtime/VFP problem that fits our description.
