   If the GPVs are happening when the user mouses over the bottom of the   
   status bar (when going to the Start bar, for example), I've had some   
   luck preventing them by programmatically expanding the status bar to two   
   lines, then dropping it back to one line when each application is   
   started. It happens to fast for the user to notice and seems to   
   dramatically reduce the GPVs.   
      
   Paradox seems to be a bit aggressive in detecting GPVs. I always tell my   
   users that if they get two within a fairly short time period, they might   
   as well give up and reboot since it generally doesn't get any better...   
      
   One more thing: if they've been running for several years w/o GPVs and   
   suddenly started getting them, the problem may not be Paradox - perhaps   
   they've loaded another app or utility or upgrade that is causing   
   Paradox's over-aggressive GPV detection to trip. Can the timing of the   
   sudden onslaught of GPVs be linked to another PC, network, or software   
   event?
