White box top left

Paul C · 08-22-2006, 05:18 AM

not sure if this is something i'm doing or what, but when I first turn the computer on (from hibernate) a white box appears in the top left corner of the screen. I have RR and the other bits i use installed on 2 different computers and they both do it. The only other time I see this box is when I go from the main menu to the GPS but then it is only over the part of the RR screen that you can see not over freedrive. touching the screen makes it go away, the box is about the size of winamp when its maximized but i've got all the winamp screens minimized.

hey i see this white box also, but only when i go to the gps screen (IG) and when i leave the gps screen.

been wondeing what it was for months but figured it was something with IG, but i guess not since you use Freedrive. I dont have to touch the screen for it to go away though.

Also, i only see this happen in the car, dont see anything on my laptop (at least not lately)

glad its not just me seeing things then. Do you use Gamma control?

well its not that doing it then. If you come out of RR to the desk top do you see the white box then?

I only got that when there was something wrong with my Flash spinning logo spinning too fast....

to me it almost seems like RR minimized or the RR window before its maximized to full screen

any chance of taking a screenshot or photo of this ? I have not heard or seen of anything like that before.

try deleting the logo.swf in the skin folder and see if that works!

oh yes forgot to say that is the only 3 places I see it if I go into Radio MP3 or video I don't see it

i get what you see in post #11 but the box is slightly over to the right a little.

I never see this on my desktop though, only in the car and only in gps screens.
I can try to delete any .swf files in the root of my skin and see what happens. Im not currently using any flash in the skin, but there are swf files present from previous experiments etc.

think i may have found the problem call me a tw$% or what ever you like but though I had all winamp screens turned off winamp was still set to always be on top. strange though how it would only show up in those 3 places

liquid_smoke · 08-25-2006, 11:25 PM

just to follow up on your test to see if it would work for me.
I checked to see if winamp was set to be on top, it wasnt.
So loaded RR, set it to not hide winamp, then reloaded and then killed winamp and only had RR running and IG.
Still saw the white box,
so, at least for me, that rules out winamp.
Its odd that i only see it on the gps screen though.
