We have some (PicoLog, http://www.picotech.com) programs
that quit updating their windows after a week or so.
The desktop will show through where the program's window
should be. If we mouse-over the spots where the buttons on
the blank form should be, then the buttons will suddenly become
visible. Mousing over the blank window's other areas does not
seem to do anything.
Otherwise the programs are operating properly -- collecting,
processing data, and saving data. From the Task Monitor,
everything looks normal. Memory consumption looks
reasonable and the CPU idle time is about 99%.
Stopping and restarting the programs will cause the displays
to work properly for another few days.
What can cause Windows programs to stop updating their
windows?
TIA, JohnH
(I am going to try to find a PicoLog support forum to also
post this question to, but I thought that you people around
here might have good clues or suggestions to contribute.)
