Access 2007 & 2010 window title bars messed up

[manhattanite]

Has anyone encountered problems with missing pixels in the far right corner of non maximized MS Access windows? Here's a link to an example:

Basically, the very upper-right of any window opened within MS Access 2007 (or 2010) has that line of pixels .. and they change colors as you move the window. This appears to only happen under Windows 7 -- specifically Windows 7 64-bit, but I haven't tried it under 32-bit yet. Also running the Aero theme.

I haven't had any luck searching the internet for this problem, but might just be using the wrong search terms. Thanks.

I seriously doubt this in an access problem, but it very well could be. Are you sure the computer is not overloaded with memory requirements?? this happens in various places on windows machines when the processor/s start becoming overwhelmed with requests.

I look at this as similar to the issue where you can start seeing parts of your desktop through a browser window when you flip from window to window on a slower machine.

I would doubt that the aero theme (windows theme?) is relevant. But I can always be wrong.

the other solution would be to just forget it, unless everyone in the organization is complaining about it.

Thanks for your response, Adam. At first I'm also inclined to think it's not an Access problem. But, it's been doing that ever since I upgraded to Access 2007 and Windows 7 a couple years ago. Also, I support about 20 machines in our office and it's consistently the same problem on all them as well. The strange thing is that it only happens to any window within MS Access (form window, table window, query window, etc.). And it's only MS Access. Also, I have a newer machine with an i7 processor, 4Gigs RAM and a pretty beefy video card. I don't think it's a low resource issue, although I know what you're talking about there. I can go back to a windows XP machine and the problem is gone. We have several different databases and it does it for all of them. I even recently have been creating new databases in Access 2007 and they have the same problem. Just today I installed Office 2010 on a test machine. Lo and behold, the problem still exists under Windows 7.

I've basically done what you suggested for the last couple of years and ignored it. But I had an itch again today to try figuring it out . I figured by now I could easily find something about it via Google - but nothing so far. Just thought I'd see if anyone else out there is seeing this with Access 2007 or 2010 under Windows 7.

yeah...that's a pickle. What are you going to type into google?? "pixels missing"?? LOL.

I doubt that find will be easy, if even possible.

I'd wait to hear from others. But I doubt you get much more help. If this was happening to me, I'd change the subject whenever anyone brought it up.

Hello all, I also experience the exact same problem in Access 2010. I upgraded from 2003 a few weeks ago and immediately noticed it. From what I see here, the problem obviously is with Access itself.

My version of Access is 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bits) and my OS is Windows 7 64 bits.
