Blank box on desktop
I know this is an old problem, but I can not locate answer.
My desktop develops, sometimes at start up, sometimes later, a blank box somewhere near the center of screen. I have a flat screen iMac with OSX 10.1.5
After installing QuicktimePro, it stopped appearing for two days, now is back. I was told it is caused by a message that can not be displayed.

Re: Blank box on desktop
simplest solution, buy jaguar. I know you don't like it but, you'll be better off in the long run.

Re: Blank box on desktop
Do you have Classic running? Check System Preferences to see if Classic is selected to start automatically. I had that problem because Classic was trying to connect to a server or something, but the error message couldn't be seen, just a white box. I can't remember, but I think if you hit enter or return it'll go away.
