Now, in investigating why your Visual FoxPro (VFP 9) application is getting stuck on Windows 7, here are some common reasons and solutions:

1. Incompatibility: Ensure that your VFP 9 application is fully compatible with Windows 7. Sometimes, older applications may face compatibility issues with newer operating systems.
2. Resource Constraints: Check if the application is consuming too many system resources, causing it to hang. You can use Task Manager to monitor resource usage while the application is running.
3. Corrupted Installation: Verify that the VFP 9 installation is not corrupted. Reinstall the application to rule out any installation issues.
4. Faulty Code: Review the application's code for any inefficiencies or loops that might be causing it to hang. Debugging the code can help identify where the issue lies.
5. Logs and Errors: Look for any specific error messages within the VFP application logs that might provide more insight into the cause of the hang.
6. Windows Update: Ensure that Windows 7 is fully updated with the latest patches and updates. Sometimes, system updates can resolve compatibility issues.
7. Antivirus or Firewall Interference: Check if any antivirus software or firewall is blocking the application, causing it to hang. By addressing these common issues, you may be able to pinpoint the cause of the application hang in your VFP 9 application on Windows 7.
