Re: Xarea weirdness

Hi Dimitris,


I think I've found the cause of the problem: Since I needed a 
new keyboard there is a program called Setpoint from Logitech 
that is running all the time and when I stop the process in 
taskmanager the white square area does not pop up anymore. Only
one minor setback: When I disable Setpoint most programmed keys
do not work anymore.

Anyhow, thanks for your time and testing, I realized now that
it must have been something on my PC which made it a bit easier
to look for the culprit.

Thanks again and regards,

fer
