I don't run TSpro, but you might consider another possible source of
the problem. TS2k does NOT update the screen properly, and if the TS2k
graphics code has been used in TSpro, this problem may carry over to
there as well.
The screen update problem happens even when run off-line. It is not
very repeatable, and occurs at seemingly random times, but it does
happen quite often. This *might* be what is happening in your case,
too.

This also cures the update problem, but only temporarily. It does come
back.

Likewise for the update problem.

This does NOT fix the update problem. It happens on a brand new
workspace, too.

The screen update problem does not seem to have anything to do with
hardware.

Before you get new hardware, try to see if it is *really* a hardware
problem.
Good luck.
