vb.net combo boxes choices no longer visible

[Mark Lancaster]

I have several combo boxes on form1 of my application. I do not know why,
but the choices on my dropdownlist combo boxes no longer display when the
form opens. They are there, because you can click and the choice loads into
the box. After doing this once, the choices are visible.

Do you have McAfee 8.0?

Question: When the form loads, how does it know which item
in the list should be displayed?

Yes. I think we recently upgraded to it also. Cannot remember if the
problem coincided with the upgrade.

When the form loads, some of the combo boxes load blank, and some of the
boxes load with a default, either set in the properties box or loaded at run
time. The ones that load a default are displaying the default text in the
combo box, but when I click on the dropdown, it displays blank.

Thanks.

Check to see if you have Buffer Overrun/Underrun protection turned on...

If so.. turn it of...

Sorry, but I not familiar with this. Seems like I have seen it somewhere
before.

Where would I check this at? Would this be in the 2000 XP system, the
McAffee, something I can set in code, or something in the vb.net itself?

Thanks.

It's in McAfee, a fault with the on access scanner... right click on your
McAfee shield, go to virus scan consule. You'll see the buffer Overrun
scanner...

disable.

That was a fun bug.
