Richard, The plot thickens now in that if I set Resource=ON then the same problem arises, with the old pre-loaded projects so it must be the resources that are screwing things up. I can't for the life of me find where these resources are held though, I have cleaned the registry of all VFP and Foxpro entries as well as uninstalling and re-installing VFP....
Anyhow, once again thanks for the heads up and now I can hunt for the elusive resources!!
Postscript: I have just read a thread off tek-tips where both Rick Schummer had exactly the same problem but there doesn't seem to be a resolution as to how to find or clear them!

Seems more likely to me that the culprit was the resource file and not the PJX's, but either way it's quite gratifying to know I helped you arrive at a solution. Much like getting a pat on the head from Uncle Ted... 😉 --

Richard -----> SUCCESS!!!!,
Your suggestion sorted it after I restored back last night's folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9" in its entirety.
Setting the resource=off allowed me to load a barebones VFP and after loading each of the projects that were causing VFP to hang I found no problems. So all back and working now thank you.
No idea what caused the problem, neither do I care at the moment.
I'll investigate more once stock take is over and I have had an Easter break.
Thanks once again and everyone out there have a wonderful Easter!
