Hi All....First of all FULL marks for a fantastic little programme...really helpful....Thanks to all concerned.....I am not an Expert user by any means but I have discovered a very small problem and hope someone would be kind enough to help if you have ever witnessed it yourself! I have looked all over the Forum but can't seem to find anything about it. Every now and then the screen goes BLANK for 3 or 4 seconds, then comes back on. This usually happens when I am working on something. There is no curser, and all I get is a totally black screen. I have noticed it is more likely to happen on the Aero Button selection, as apposed to the Classic Button. Although it is not a major problem it is doing my head in, so any help would be brilliant.....Thanks Guys.....much appreciated.......Raystr.

It sounds like explorer may be crashing, This may be because of classic shell. (it likely isnt though)
And the specific button style has a .1% chance of actually affecting it in any way, so anything you noticed there is probably coincidence (unless you were using some huge/custom button)

Lets start the troubleshooting with some basic Questions
What OS are you running? does it happen when you press the start button? ect
