Hi group

I just re-install Windows XP SP2 (for many raisons) on the SAME PC using all
the same setup, I re-install FM6.... now I have a refresh problem, when a
switch layout the FM screen redraw itself many time without me touching
anything.

#2-I use the Script Scheduler plugin, now when I use this fonction to
execute a script when user get out of a field, the refresh redraw the
screen, but not 100%, the background is missing, some colors etc ect.....
the same solution working on other PC on the network don't do that ?? any
clues ?? all using the same plug and Win XP SP2

Thank you

Hi JF

I have had simmilar problems before. They were gone when I did the windows
install again. Have had some problems after that. It seems to me that the
windows install is not allways quite the same. I have no other explanation.

Example: My machine has USB2 ports. After the first re-install windows only
recognised them as USB1. After the second re-install all was good. But now I
have some font problems. Nothing major so I just leave it as it is.

So in your spare time try to re-install again.

HAHAA ! Welcom to the Microsoft world !!

If only Mac could have all the Office use we need so I can throw away my PC
!!

Thank but no thanks, I pass 5 hours to re-install every software (because of
the lame registry file) all software are not working after a new
installation of windows is done !!

Anyway, anyone have another clue ??

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The only piece missing from the Mac
version of MS Office is the Access database (and possibly some part of
the Exchange server connection).

Of course, with Microsoft having now produced a new version of their
Office applications , they're incompatible with the current Mac and
Windows versions (unless the users of the new versions remember to do a
Save As) until the new Mac version arrives later in the year.


For other software there's almost always either a Mac version or an
alternative, although sometimes the alternative may not be good enough
for some highly specific software (eg. there's no AutoCAD for Mac, I
don't know if any of the alternatives are good / compatible enough for
manufacturing purposes).

I mean Office use.... not "microsoft office", (We use Autocad) but anyway
let's get back to my original concern...

My refresh problem is not a full windows problem, it's only the FM6 that
redraw itself, when I change layout, the new layout appear on screen, then
get refresh, and refresh and refresh again... it's a FM behavior..... not
Windows XP, the back ground stay fine, it's only within the FM windows. I
reboot and Close all othe Application and still the problem is there. And
it's also doing it on layout without any field.... ?!?! The funny thing it's
only happening when I go to a new layout,

It's getting on my nerves after only 2h !!

help !!!

Correction, it's doing it over and over, every time I switch to a layout,
edit a field and comit record.....

How are you getting to that layout??? If it's via a script (or button
running a script), then the script could easily be doing things that
require a screen refresh.

Thanks Harry, but that not it..... even if I'm on the layout for couple of
mins, this behavor happen.

I run FM and disable all the plugin (and remember, I only reinstall Windows
XP, without re-format HD, reinstall FM from CD)
Same application, same version, same upgrade....

It's doing it also when I commit a record, All layout, anywhere it's doing
this redraw screen, the mouse pointer change to an hourglass for 1-2 sec and
repeating that for about 2-3 times.

It could be a corrupt database file or failing hard drive causing
problems when trying to save records. If possible try another Filemaker
file (or create a simple new one) and see if it suffers from the same
problem.

Sorry Harry I anwser to your mail box instead of forum...


It's on a server.... but maybe it's the network connection !
I re-install windows XP because of that, network problem, some file whore
corrupt and no way to fix that unless I re-install Windows.

So now everything is fixed ( I had problems with everything BUT filemaker
before, printing, filesharing, even Excel file get corrupt bt no FM problem)
No that all the other think work, FM is doing crazy stuff !!
