Strange Random Tiny Non-moveable Window appears when an application is run.

Sorry if I posted this already, I thought I did, and even the subject auto-complete was prompted in my browser, but can't find the posting.

One of my users has a weird tiny, unmoveable, un minimizeable, un closeable box appear every time he opens a CVI program.  He is the only one I know that has this issue in my group.  Below are his comments, but I went ahead and copied his email in .doc format attached that has screenshots.

----

Comes up dead center of my “main monitor” – the Application starts at top edge of main screen, centered left/right

This box comes up first, then the Application comes up over the top of this.  I can move the Application, but cannot move this box.  This box comes to “front”, on top of all other windows when the Application is “in focus”.  When I try to minimize this box, it minimizes the Application, but this box does not move/minimize.  If you close this box, it closes the Application, then this box.

When the application is minimized, the box changes color slightly, but stays there

The Application name seems to be in the ‘header bar’ of the box, but usually only the 1^st letter is visible

What version of CVI are you using?

That does fix the issue as his video settings said to always move windows on screen.  Disabling this allows for that sneaky annoying window to be off-screen.

Was this fixed in 2009 and now an issue again with 2010 CVI runtime?  Or is this always an issue?  i have 2010 and all my users would have installed a program that i have created with cvi 2010.

Thanks

This hasn't yet been completely fixed, so it is still a problem in 2010. Fixing it requires a pretty fundamental change, so it will probably be a while until the annoying window can go away for good.
