There is a big problem using 16 bit programs under Vista and Windowblinds.
Vista copes with them with no problems, but Windowblinds cause corruption of SDI windows.
Below is an example of a 16 bit program I knocked up to demonstrate.
Application opening an MDI window (everything ok):
Application opening an SDI window (title bar invisible, although text still shown)
Excluding the application from Windowblinds has no effect. I even tried excluding ntvdm.exe and wowexec.exe, again with no effect.
The main program I use on a dialy basis is still 16bit, so unfortunately I cannot use Windowblinds until it can effectively exclude 16bit programs.
FYI:
