Weird white box

Mediaportal rc2
windows xp

Can someone tell me what the weird white box is that seems to be showing up in the background.
I seems to say mediaportal at the top and maybe the time.
Eventually it goes to the background and the app works fine, from time to time however it stays in teh foreground and is a pain.

Is there a way of stopping it.

thanks

attaching a screen shot may help to understand what is happening and what you are doing at the time the box appears....logs also could help.

My guess is that you have activated the "External Display" (for VFD etc.) in MediaPortalConfiiguration.exe -> plugins.

Try switching it of
