opened window when on the internet mainly. You can see the screen behind it

in that area. The left corner is also missing. Any help would be greatly

You may be running out of system resources. Windows has a system limit on

how many system GDI resources can be used. These are items like windows,

icons, buttons, etc. The limit is 10000 per application and 32000 total.

You can view GDI resources with Task Manager.

1) Select the Processes tab

2) View > Select Columns

3) Click the checkbox by GDI Objects
