The client who experienced this today has had my app installed for about 4 months and it is running on his PC 8 hours a day. The problem only appeared today and kept reappearing even though he killed my app and restarted it. None of the other apps on his system behaved strangely. After a reboot the problem goes away completely. Does this point towards the heap shortage that Steve mentions?</p> <p><strong>EDIT 3:</strong> Interesting msdn blog post <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop-heap-overview.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/07/05/desktop-heap-part-2.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a> on the topic of the desktop heap. Though I'm not sure whether this is the cause of the problem it certainly looks likely.</p>
