strange little rectangle on screen

Hi friends,

after I start one of my programs a little rectangle appears on the mittle of the screen in addition to the program.
I know it sounds crazy but I attached a screenshot.
On the left you see the program and beside is the little rectangle (marked by a red circle). It's possible to click to the rectangle and the focus will change to it, that means the color will change to dark blue and the color of the program will change to light blue. That indicates that this rectangle is a little window. It's not possible to move it or resize it. It's always visible if on of my labview programs is on top. Now it sounds more crazy if I'll tell you that this will only happen at this computer. All other PC's show my programs in the right way. LabView 8.0.1 is running everywhere.

Any ideas???

Best regards.
Ronny

It looks like a VI with a front panel of 0 pixels.

These are automatically generated by LV if you use auto-center (from the VI-properties) and then close programmatically the Front Panel (8.0 bug)
The reason it shows up on your PC and not others....
Maybe it is a vi.lib or user.lib file that you closed programmtically. To resolve this you have to find out which VI it is, and than edit the properties (or reset the FP)

Good luck,

You can use the Application property Application->All VIs in Memory to find out the name of the VI.  Just drop a property node in a blank VI, select the property, create an indicator and run.
