Issue with wallpapers and Norton Internet Security

Internet Security Window pops up behind wallpaper

April 16, 2005 5:15:00 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi,

I need some help with an important issue. I am not exactly sure it is WindowsFX that is causing this, I just suspect it. But it could be another ObjectDesktop application since I have them all installed anyway.

The problem is this: unless I use a standard windows wallpaper (which I don't because they are boring and thus I use your custom wallpapers, whether from a theme set or not), whenever I receive alers from norton internet security these alerts (the ones that ask you to permit or block some traffic) appear behind the wallpaper so I can't see the window which results in symantec ccapps.exe application hogging the CPU in the background waiting from a reply from me.

I am certain this is a problem with an ObjectDesktop application because if I remove them, this does not happen. Any ideas what I can do to solve this?

thanks

Interesting.
i use NAV and NPF and I've never had that issue.

Do you have "lock desktop items" checked in the desktop properites?

I have bought the OD disk, so I have almost all installed.

Madvox,

Are you using ".bmp" files for your walls, and are they stored in "C:\WINDOWS" (where "C" is the letter drive)?

If not, I would suggest trying this. You can change walls in other formats to ".bmp" with a graphics editing program.

Windows set-up installs wall images to two locations: (1) "C:\WINDOWS" (".bmp" files), and (2) "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers" (".jpeg" files) - where "C" is the letter drive.

All of mine are in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers.  None is elsewhere...

Sorry, Jafo -

I should have been more explicit and not used the generic "wall images".

Tile pattern ".bmp"s are in "C:\WINDOWS" - Blue Lace 16, Coffee Bean, etc.

My mistake.

The walls I use aren't in the Windows folder at all.
