Could you post the pertinent code in a snippet? The DBPro file you attached will not show us anything. You could attach the .dba file, but it would be easier / simpler to just post your code related to the background scrolling.

So many games to code.....so little time.

The problem is that you are calling the _vScroller subroutine and returning from it before the DO - LOOP fully executes. Try this:

Rem Level screen

set display mode 1024, 512, 0
sync rate 0
sync on
hide mouse

load bitmap "Futurecity.png",1
create bitmap 2,1024,512

set current bitmap 1
for i=1 to 1024
   get image i,i-1,0,i,512
next i

set text opaque
ink rgb(255,255,255),0

dim x(1024)
for a=1 to 1024
   x(a)=a
next a
do
    set current bitmap 2
    for i=1 to 1024
      paste image x(i),i,0
      oldy=x(i)
      inc oldy
      if oldy>1024 then oldy=1
      x(i)=oldy
    next i
    text 0,0,str$(screen fps())
    copy bitmap 2,0
    set current bitmap 0
    sync
loop

I must say that I have never seen scrolling done like that before, but it does indeed work. It actually runs at 316 FPS on my rig.

I get around 420 fps.

Just for fun, using this method you could add a sine wave to it!

Rem Level screen
 
set display mode 1024, 512, 0

hide mouse
 
load bitmap "D:\Futurecity.png",1

do
    set current bitmap 2
    for i = 1 to 1024
        y = sin(i)*10
        paste image x(i), i, y
        oldy = x(i)
        inc oldy
        if oldy>1024 then oldy=1
