HELP---text not showing in listbox and alerts

[Roger Chapman]

I have a problem I can't seem to find any help on, I really hope someone
else has come across this and kno9ws the answer. When outputing to a
list box using the items.add, and then run the code it does not show the
text. I can see that there is something there as there is a scroll bar
that shows up, but can't see it, in an alert I see the texct on the
titlebar but no where else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but
still get the same thing. It happen on both of my machines. Any
help... PLEASE!!

Thanks

There has been several posts about a bug in Mcafee that gives this type of
bug.

to quote the knowledgeable Herfried wrote in an older message

Typically this symptom is caused by a McAfee VirusScan problem that NAI
is
aware of and that can be fixed by installing a patch:

Patch 5 for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i

Hope this helps

Roger,

Are you by any chance using a McAfee virus protection product?

If so, there is a known problem with one of their products and VS.Net. Some
of your symptoms sound like the same symptoms you would get with the McAfee
product.

You can get an update to fix the problem at their web site.

I can't recreate your problem using a ListBox, I can with a ListView by not
adding any columns to it. What properties have you set on the Listbox that
are different to the defaults?

Roger,

You say alerts, is this a windowform or a webpage?

An alert is a javascript client side command.

I hoped that this problem would disappear from the groups after some time
when people have updated the virus scanner, but this doesn't seem to be the
case :-(.

All I can say is UNFREAKIN real, all this pain and it was mcafee...
AHHHHHHgggggggggggggg I have spent far too long trying to debug this
never occured to me it might be mcafee, on three differnet PC's, they
all have this, never once thought about the VScan. God thank you all!!
I was really getting pee'ved at this, and what gets me is that I work in
tech support for the state, so I ALWAYs keep my visrus software up
todate. Really ticks me Mcafee Never once told us about this and
considering we support over 17000 users with their software, not good.
Again thank you all!! This newsgroup ROCKs!!

Cool beans
