Windowsblinds 7.2 Issues with New Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0
Monday, December 20, 2010 by LightStar | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Seems like there is an issue with the just released Micrsoft Security Essentials (MSE) 2.0 and the latest Windowblinds on Windows XP 32-bit with all updates current. On boot I get a partial image of MSE appearing on my screen like this:
As you can see it is only a partial image, and if I open any other window over it or right click and refresh the screen, it goes away. It does not occur with Windowblinds unloaded. At first I thought it might be my video drivers, so I updated them but that did not fix the problem. This problem also randomly occurs when opening and closing MSE.

Just found another issue that only occurs only with Windowblinds loaded:
No frames, just titlebar in MSE 2.0, until you click anywhere on the desktop, then the frames appear.
My Windowblinds information is as follows:

Check this out. I clicked on the link to download MSE 2.0 and was immediately kicked off the net. Had to reboot to get back on. Something wrong somewhere I think.

I remember that you had a issue with a font and this program a week or so ago. Think this might be related?

I think Neil's the only one to help with this one, Tom.... If you don't bump it periodically, I will.

Well, I completely excluded MSE from being skinned in WB for now. MSE seems to work fine so far.

Did you reboot after updating the MSE, Tom?
