Bug when running Visual Basic 6

I am having a display bug when I use Visual Basic 6.
I run the program in 'SDI' mode, which means it has a group of toolbars that 'float' on the desktop. There happens to be a hidden parent window that owns/controls them all. When I close my development environment, there are 'dead zones' on the desktop where the VB6 windows used to be. The screen does not update in those areas.
I am running at 1600x1200, but sadly my graphics card does not support 32 bit color at this resolution. That may be part of the issue.
I have been exploring the WindowBlinds settings (I'm new to this) and found the bit where you can tell WindowBlinds to totally exclude/not skin an app. I just did that for VB6 and it looks promising -- I'm going to reboot and test this again.
Any thoughts/suggestions other than what I've described above?
Thanks in advance...
Barry

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
This is because :
Your computer is currently in 16 or 24 bit colour mode and WindowBlinds needs to be in 32 bit colour mode to use per pixel borders. Please adjust the colour depth of your display to 32 bit colour. If this is not an option, then you may want to see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware.
