Form foreground freezing up...

I've got a program that is heavily processor intensive when it's being run. At seemingly random intervals, the program's foreground locks up and doesn't refresh until it has completed its processes. The lockup doesn't occur every time the program is run, though rest assured it will occur if the program is run long enough (usually about 45 secs). In addition, it always happens if I switch to a different application, whether I switch back or not. I assume it's a problem with Windows, but I haven't been able to find a workaround. Neither Refresh nor sleep statements make any difference.

I assume that it's a problem others have encountered. Anybody know a solution or workaround? Or even a cause?

I'm running Windows XP.

Thanks.
