1. Move the Set Text commands out of the Do..Loop. You only need to use them once before dropping into the loop.

2. Don't use Set Cursor and Print, (the Set Text commands don't work with it). Use Text XPos,YPos,String$ instead.



What's with all the backslashes - typos???

Assuming I deciphered that correctly...

3. Your problem is that your program appears to be doing exactly what you told it to do - print some text to the screen when you move the mouse over an image... the problem is that unless you set the size of the screen, you get 640x480 - making your text OFF the screen!

Also using the Text command to print spaces does not work unless you set the text to opaque - it's transparent by default.
