when you installed Vista, did you by any chance Update your BIOS before hand? just incase Vista doesnt like an old BIOS, secondly, did you install all the correct Vista drivers for your motherboard? , an have you updated all you Windows Updates?

Anybody tried to reproduce? I'm gonna try now.
Anything special I need to do? or just leave it opened for (exactly?) an hour?
edit: also, is it Vista x86 or x64?

quote:fair enough, what i shoulda asked orsaid, it looks an or seems more like a Video Problem, . i got Vista x64 installed so might be different to your issue if your running 32bit .have you ran it without Plus installed?

I didnt even have plus installed at the time, but it still happens now.
Vista x86, home premium.
That was a rough guess, but it happens quite a bit though...
Windows Vista (6.0.6000)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0178
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.254
RE: Window Bug by Hank on 02-21-2007 at 12:07 PM
im gathering you have Aero Enabled? , try disabling it an see if it happens
RE: Window Bug by Felu on 02-21-2007 at 12:12 PM
Does this only happen with a Chat Window?

It seems like the chat window is a child of another window, so I guess you're using the Tabbed Chats feature of Plus. Try to disable the auto-grouping feature and see if that helps.
By the way, did this only happen once or does it happen frequently?
RE: Window Bug by Eljay on 02-21-2007 at 12:42 PM
This is one of a long list of known bugs with tabbed chats on Vista, and is also part of the long list of bugs Patchou has fixed in the current Beta, wait for the release of 4.20. 
RE: Window Bug by Kenji on 02-21-2007 at 12:43 PM
I dont even use tabbed chats.... It happens without plus as well.
RE: Window Bug by Eljay on 02-21-2007 at 12:53 PM
In that case, must be either a WLM bug or like someone said previously, a graphics driver bug (but then it wouldn't be only on WLM :/).
RE: Window Bug by Sunshine on 02-21-2007 at 01:29 PM
Patched or skinned WLM in any way?
