O.P. Contacts on Desktop go Black
When I leave my computer locked for extended periods of time (usually at least overnight), the Destop Contact goes Black. (It becomes a black rectangle with no other colours/text/pictures.)  I have to sign out and then back in to restore it.

MSN: 7.0.0777
Plus: 3.52.130
Windows: 2000

I have it set go automatically go offline after 120 minutes of inactivity.

I have seen it go black in shorter time frames as well.

I usually leave my status at online when i step away from my machine.

That can be caused by a problem in your video card driver... removing transparency in the floating windows will solve it.

I just was checking back and noticed your post now.  Thanks for the info.  I have turned off the transparency and we will see if this resolves the problem.
