mmc windows display problem

this is a problem i noticed since my latest build a few months ago - i keep meaning to post about it here, but just haven't got around to it yet.

anyway, when i try to resize my MMC windows, such as services or disk management, they do not display properly.

sometimes the services window 'repairs' itself if i minimise then restore, but my disk mgmt window doesn't.

any one else have this problem, and/or know of a fix?

i've tried sfc, not sure what to do now...everything else seems to run fine - it's only these windows that are 'corrupted' if i try to resize them.

thanks for the suggestion shawn, but it didn't work.

i've had three or four different drivers since noticing this problem a few months ago - it's most odd that the glitch only occur in these programs when i resize the windows and nowhere else.

i've tried sfc /scannow, uninstalling my custom uxthemes, uninstalling graphics drivers, installing all the optional windows updates...

it's not a serious problem, as i rarely alter my services any more and i have other software to mess with partitions, but it's troubling having a problem and not knowing how to solve it - especially as i have access to all the great minds here at sevenforums!

To me it looks like another case of corrupted windows files. Do you have a disc image to revert to ?

thanks, but if i had corrupted windows files, wouldn't sfc /scannow have found them?

the problem started right after a clean install of a slipstreamed sp1 on a new machine. i don't really want to do a fresh reinstall just for this little problemette.

i was hoping somebody would know exactly waht the problem was and suggested a quick'n'easy fix.

dream on, mickey....:)

Why not, it`s fun.
Maybe it`s something to do with the disc you used.

thanks shawn, the problem wasn't there with a new account. time to investigate a bit more...

helen, how do you do the authoring thing? if i can open the windows at a larger size, that could be a good workaround. i've searched here for 'author context', but no useful results.
