Yep... DX buffer copy crash. The textures that aren't in the screenshot but were on screen says that MxO takes its screenshot from the buffer not the screen memory (hence the black screenshots in vista because DX10 changed the enumeration...

Weird graphics glitch.

That's just a video crash during a buffer copy. Nothing a reboot shouldn't fix and certainly not caused by MxO... it happens occasionally during DirectX games. Had you alt-tabbed recently?

As a side note... I had to create this bugger from scratch except for the images. Vista and Google gadgets are similar... But are only cross compatible in very limited ways when it comes to porting JavaScript.
