@ x,y SAY ... Divide by 0 error

[spuppett]

I recently installed a beta for VFP 9 on the same machine running FP 2.6 and VFP 6.0. The beta wouldn't run, said something about beta time had expired, so I uninstalled it. I have a pretty important program that runs on 2.6, but it won't finish running. We've track the problem down to '@ 1,25 SAY time()'. I get a divide by 0 error and everything shuts down. The only thing thats changed that I can think of is the installation/uninstallation of VFP 9. Anyone have any possible solutions.

Windows XP, installed the patches to make FP work on fast machines.

Thanks.

Forgot to tell you its FP for Windows.

Tenetivly, it's fixed. I realized I have restarted this computer in a while, so I did, and now the @ x, y SAY works. I can't test the program yet as it has to run after hours, so we'll see.

What happens when you issue the command @ 1,25 SAY TIME() from the command window?

Are you operating in a window or SCREEN?

What font are you using (is it very large resulting in position 25 being off the desktop or window?)
