Missing texts from labels, buttons, etc.

[Val Melamed]

Hi,

This is a strange and rare bug (feature?). This winforms application is
working fine on 99% of the machines but not on mine and also once in the
past a customer reported this strange behavior: when I start the application
all texts from labels, buttons, prepopulated lists, etc. are missing and in
about a minute - minute and a half if I keep repainting the app the texts
will apper. After that the program works just fine. Any ideas what may be
wrong? Running on a DELL PC with WinXP Pro sp2 - nothing fancy, pretty
standard machine and OS.

Thanks!
Val

Maybe the problem is caused by an unpatched virus scanner. These symptoms
are typically caused by a McAfee VirusScan problem that NAI is aware of and
that can be fixed by installing a patch:

Patch 5 for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i

Thanks a lot! A have not installed the patch yet but am pretty sure that
this must be the problem since my WinMedia is not working properly either
as documented.
