I have two video cards ( NVIDIA 9800GTS 512MB, and 7800GTX 256MB). I have two monitors attached to the former and one on the latter. Whenever the cube is showing, the on-screen display desktop name does not change. I have this program on another dual-screen setup and this does not happen. I will post any findings.

I finally finished recompiling my screenburst software from source, so I will post the following to my offsite server for your information purposes: a) a .swf video of the bug in action. b) a screenshot of my systems device manager so you can see all the drivers installed. If you need anymore information, just post it. Also, my installation .exe might have been corrupted since a reinstall didn't work. Is there an email address that I can attach the .exe to for testing?

Do the computers have any driver software in common (e.g. they're all using nVidia or ATI drivers)?

These are bare-bones, fresh installations of XP and Vista 64-bit (with the exception of the mozilla software of course). I don't understand where this bug could be coming from on my system. My friend uses the trial version of deskspace, and he doesn't experience this bug at all. With the exception of Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, there are no applications in common.

You've been able to reproduce the bug under different versions of Windows, are there any common applications or utilities that you're running on each OS? Thanks for the additional updates.

I did not suspect that Vista Glazz would be the culprit b/c it only affects the Vista GUI, however, upon reversal of the system modifications from Vista Glazz, the bug was still produced. Using the Services Console and Msconfig, I disabled my anti-virus, and the bug continued to appear. Once I have time, I will screenburst my computer into an animated gif file so you can see the bug in action. Also, i have been able to reproduce the bug under fresh installations of Windows XP Professional 64-bit and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the DeskSpace trial (i only have 1 license for the full thing). The enhancements are only running on my 32-bit drive. I will troubleshoot it some more. I'm a computer tech at my college, so I'm pretty good with computers. If I find out anymore info, i'll inform you immediately. The only enhancementa I have running are Stardock ObjectDock and Vista Glazz, and disabling the dock doesn’t have an affect at all.
