     You might try maintaining a counter to 10 or 100 in a global variable, then only executing the show statement on every 10th or 100th record.  That way a single record number image sits on the screen longer.  

     I have some people running filePro on Windows 7 machines and they don't seem to have a problem, although most are running older versions of filePro, like 5.0.14.  However I have seen this behavior on some of the "gaming" (vector graphics) video cards...)
