It looks like your display size isn't the same size as your window - as if you are using 800x600 screen mode with an 800x680 window size.

If the print command is in a loop, you might be hitting the bottom of the screen which maybe has a weird effect when using windows.

I would switch to using the Text command instead of Print.

TEXT can display variables and do a hole lot more. Try this:

TEXT 0,0,str$(Variable#)

Using the str$ command you can convert variables to string to display onto the screen. Its much more efficient.
