Independently on the CONFIG.FPW existence and instead of investigating the reason of your issue you may add the following line into main program:
_screen.Visible = .T.

Open in new window

Of course, you should ensure the frm_admin form does not hide the screen again.

I don't have a config.fpw, but you clued me into the foxuser.dbf.  I deleted foxuser.dbf and when I ran the application it recreate the foxuser.dbf resolving the issue.  Thanks for help pcelba our foxpro community. :)
