I am not not using Pirated software. Mine is legit and genuine. I said my cousin was and he was just helping me test my software. All I meant by the question was, is it b/c he's using pirated windows. Next time I'll leave the part out but either way. I program legit and legal. But don't act like you've never used limewire or some sort of computer piracy before. Nah, this isn't an argumentive forum but I take it as an insult that you react like so for a simple question. Just b/c you know somone that knows somone that uses pirated windows you want to delete the thread? Delete this thread; I found the fix anyways.
I mean I like you vis and we have posts going waying back but dang man.
BUT, here's the fix.
In my code I had the popup login windows running on seperate threads. Not sure if that was the reason or not but sometimes in the paint event of the window (in which I had it painting a faded blue to steel blue) it would try and paint before the window was opened. I noticed in some error results the clientsize width and height was 0. So I just returned from the handle if it was so and it redraws normal afterwards. So, basically it wasn't a diff or OS but a random thing that I found out even happens on my computer if I minimize and maximize the window ect.... Problem solved.
