MessageBox blank

[Guest]

I have a very basic application to test a problem
The only code added to a C# Windows Form Application is:

MessageBox.Show("Test Message", "Test Caption");

The caption shows but the message is blank and so is the button.
Any ideas?
WinXP SP2
Visual Studio 2003 (7.1.3088)
..Net Framework 1.1 SP1 (1.1.4322 SP1)
Thanks
Ian

You have many options of doing it. Here is a basic one and it works fine.

MessageBox.Show("Test Message","Test Caption",MessageBoxButtons.OK) ;

It seems McAfee Version 8 is the culprit - disable buffer overrun and all is
okay again.

Go figure!!

Ianhoc - I have been tearing my hair out over the exact same
problem!!! Can you give me a little more detail about how you solved
it, please?

Never mind, Ianhoc. I found the option that makes me sane again!!!!!

Argh!

There is a hotfix available from McAfee, and it fixes the problem.

I found it referenced at

Thanks for posting the hotfix info Marc - unfortunately I couldn't find it on
McAfee's website. Maybe it is because we don't have a Support contract.

Unfortunately, this is a support-only patch. However, McAfee are
aware of the issue, and I would imagine they will roll the fix into
future service releases.
