Ok,
All my standard .Net buttons and labels were replaced with white rectangles
with red crosses in them.
There was an error generated from somewhere on the loading of the file. I
can't give any more details, since all the text and buttons on that
MessageBox was also replaced with white rectangles with red crosses in.
The only time I'd previously seen a white box with a big red cross was with
datagrids, if you had a field that was null. The datagrid couldn't display
the null and rendered itself as a white box with a red cross. Check under
google groups for "Red Cross" + datagrid and there are several other people
with this problem. In my case it turned out I didn't have one string
initialised. This is a repeatable problem. But I fixed that.
What I saw in that one instance of the file load, I can't explain since it
is not repeatable.

Well, I think we'll need more details than "text and buttons and a red
cross".

news:%2****************@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... Hi,
Doing a bit of system testing on a Windows 98 laptop. (.Net 1.1 app).
Did a bit of testing. Loaded a previously saved file. A gray box
appeared with the text and buttons all white rectangles with a big red
cross in it. Pressed a button (the one I thought might be ok). My file
appeared to load. Then when I clicked on any button on my form, the
button was replaced with a white rectangle with a big red cross in it.
Closed down the application. Re-started the application and loaded the
same file, with no problems at all.
I'm assuming this is a framework issue and not an issue with my code.
The only other application running at the same was the CD Player.
Anybody else had a similar problem and any idea how I can prevent this
from happening?
