Groupbox - BLACK on one PC

[Paul Bromley]

I have distributed an application using VB.Net 2003. One of my users states
that on one of his PCs (application on quite a few), the Groupbox control
appears as BLACK - i.e. everything is blacked out. He has reformatted his
drive and re-installed ( not becuase of this application may I add), but the
problem remains. Any ideas what this may be?? No-one else has reported a
problem.

Best wishes

Dear Paul Bromley,

Could it be a theming issue? In other words: does your user have a custom xp
theme enabled?

Hope this helps,

Thanks Michael,

You could be right on this one, and I had thought along these lines as the
Screenshot he sent me suggested that he may have been using a custom theme.
Many thanks - I will ask him this and report back to the group.

Ask the user to update the drivers for his graphics card. I remember
redrawing problems with the groupbox control which were related to outdated
drivers.
