Managed Messaged Box blank after XP SP2

[Andrea Cogliati]

I've installed XP SP2 on my XP PC and thereafter all managed message boxes
are blank (no text in caption, body and buttons): I've tried from both VB
and VC++. Non managed message boxes still work (tried from C++ and VBS).
I'm using VS.NET 2003 and .NET framework 1.1
Tried to install .NET framework SP1 but it didn't help.

Anyone experiencing that?

TIA,

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I can not reproduce the problem on my side with SP2 installed.
Have you tried to boot the machine into safe mode and run the application
to see if that works.

Peter,

Thanks a lot for your answer. I did some research and it appears to be an
issue with the Buffer Overflow module of McAfee VirusScan 8.0i: disabling it
solves the problem.

I'll contact the McAfee support.

Thanks again,

Andrea
