Al,

I've only had one occasion to even open Live Mail, but wow...was not

impressed! I was expecting (hoping for) Outlook Express with a face

lift...not even close!

I've had occasion to hang around the offices where this reboot-mania

happens, and what usually causes it is when someone makes a comment, out

loud, about how their "computer has frozen!"...usually someone of the

female persuasion.

Now, actually it's not frozen at all, just busy. But then a helpful

computer-guy-wannabe will pipe up and instruct everyone who is listening

that "...you just need to push that small button on the front of the

tower. Here, let me show you..."

I have a lot more trouble with end users who think they know all about

computers than I ever do with the machines, or the software, or the

other 99% of the humans involved.

Mike

Tell them to try window live mail. that's a huge dog that spends most its

life trying to update flags. Outlook was bad enough but that takes the cake.

I've not noticed VFP problems like that though. But I have noticed that all

that crap about 7 being faster to load and run is twoddle. Closing down is

so slow.

One thing, I think the behaviour you see is only when someone gets clicky.

Maybe they should get a coffee.

Many applications (not just VFP) when run on Windows 7 trigger display

of the "Not responding" status message on the application's title bar if

the application gets busy for an extended period. And, depending on what

you click on at that point, the "offending" window may become "shaded"

sort of a milky white...I guess it's Windows 7's attempt at showing that

the program is in distress or something.
