I, too, have faced this and usually in Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail. Occasionally I see it in Word. Sometimes redrawing the screen also helps me.

Often, but not always, I can find the offending application and close it. Sometimes, though, those other applications have put something that's mostly or entirely graphical on the screen. I have been able to go to the System Tray and find what's running and, if something looks unusual--say it's an application I didn't start or that isn't usually running--I may be able to stop it. I've had flash application updates show up and cause a problem. I have only found them when I flipped through open programs several times. Just flipping through once wasn't enough. Finally, once the window in which MS Word was displayed somehow was pushed up into the corner of the screen--at least that's how the person providing sighted assistance described it. To fix this required dragging the open window back into the middle of the screen. It's a mystery to me how that happened. Finally, I've resorted to shutting down and restarting the computer, which does help some of the time. Well, I hope there's something here that might help. Good luck.

This is getting very old. I hope GW Micro can fix this problem, please. <smile> Thanks much. Pat Ferguson If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
