Wierd drawing problem
Wierd drawing problem
Hello,
At least once a day I get a thick black line of various size on one my desktops (I have a screen shot I can email). It seems to happen randomly and with different applications open (windows explorer, opera, putty, outlook, etc...).
Let me know where I can email the screen shot as you will be able to see what I'm talking about.
Thank you,
thanatos

Tried that, didn't help . However, turning off XP shadows seems to have "fixed" the problem. I haven't gotten a single drawing problem since I switched it off.
Shadows are turned off from the Display Properties Dialog -> Appearance Tab -> Effects Button. Unselect "Show shadows under menus" in the resulting dialog box.

I notice that when I switch to another desktop, they go away... and then switch back to the original desktop, they are back again! Evil shadows!
They also seem to be much more common on the desktop I use more often... but I can't seem to "force" them to happen... they just happen.
They are taking over my desktop.

Edit: In addition, if I close Dexpot and reopen it, the lines remain on the desktop while dexpot is closed, and still remain after it's restarted. Also, if I switch to a different desktop that doesn't have the shadows and close dexpot, all the lines come back even then.

I can duplicate it for the start menu fairly easily:
0. Press the start key
1. Use the start key + 2 to send the start menu to a new desktop
2. The start menu should have switched desktops.
3. All desktops should now have the start menu shadow.
