Simcoder Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Ok heres my situation. I have been using Visual Studio.Net 2002 For Almost 2 years and it has been great. I recently purchased .Net 2003 so I decided to reformat and then install 2003. Everything seemed to work fine, but for some odd reason, the messagebox.show function is not working properly when I run any vb applications. It shows the Title Bar Text and the image, but the actual text inside of the messagebox is not displayed. Its really weird because the text inside the messagebox buttons are not displayed as well. This is not only occuring when I create new 2003 applications, but it also does the same thing when I run my older 2002 compiled applications on this same machine that has 2003 installed. Let me post a picture, to better explain myself. Here is the code for the button, MessageBox.Show("Why Is This Text Not Being Displayed", "Testing", MessageBoxButtons.OK) Thnx in advance, Simcoder Quote Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart - Jesus
r-S Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Hi I've never used MessageBox.Show before - didn't know it existed! I always use MsgBox() - I've not had a problem so far :) Quote
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted December 26, 2004 *Gurus* Posted December 26, 2004 Are you running McAfee VirusScan 8.0 by any chance? The new buffer overflow "protection" they added to it interferes with .NET applications. Quote Posting Guidelines
Simcoder Posted December 26, 2004 Author Posted December 26, 2004 Are you running McAfee VirusScan 8.0 by any chance? The new buffer overflow "protection" they added to it interferes with .NET applications. Why as a matter of fact I am. WOW thnx alot Derek. How do you know this information? Anyways, thnx for the timely reply and, just curious, why would MCAfee 8.0 cause this type of problem? Quote Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart - Jesus
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted December 27, 2004 *Gurus* Posted December 27, 2004 I ran into the problem after one of my deployed applications began to "mysteriously" have UI problems. The ComboBox on the main window of the application was visible and the drop down still worked, but none of the text was being drawn on the items. I asked the network administrator what had recently changed, and McAfee VirusScan 8.0 was determined to be the problem. Quote Posting Guidelines
Simcoder Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 Ahh I see, Well disabling the buffer overflow protection has corrected the problem. Thanks again for your reply =D -=Simcoder=- Quote Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart - Jesus
