Wow that's interesting. What sort of graphic card do you have?

Nothing special, Intel HD Graphics 630, says device manager
Thanks

OK just to add few words more,

I knew that new monitor was the only difference (and yes, the new resolution
was 2560 x 1444),
so first thing to try was run to basement and take the old one Samsung 22" back
and put resolution back to 1920 x 1200
Removed new hardware AOC monitor under Control Panel Devices and set as Generic
PnP monitor, removed monitor driver as windows asked.

All the same.
Btw. whatever I did I rebooted after to be sure, Jeff, Jeff :-) as SSD reboot is a blink

NOW I was confused and then asked a question

At a moment I have my AOC 32" back

Thanks for all yours opinions

Oh.. plus I completely removed SB and reinstalled back the fresh one so I am
pretty sure nothing missing there

Thanks for the compatibility mode idea, Graham. I swear, this was not even
the last item on my list of possible solutions. And it does not make any
sense to me.

Thanks again!

Hi Friedrich,

Well when Darko said it worked my first thoughts were that it was
something like the Catalyst Control Centre issues that we've had with
the Clarion IDE and disabling CCC.exe and MOM.exe (the monitoring
program) would do the trick.

But maybe what's needed is the latest Intel HD Graphics 630 drivers

But the weird thing is that he only changed the monitor and not the graphic
card. Hmmm... but I am sure he also increased screen resolution and this
might have caused the graphic card issue (low on memory?).

IMO, this does not make any sense at all <g>. Why should "8-bit (256)
colours" make a difference in this case? And you did not even change the
graphic card (no new drivers, etc.).

You can try 2018 because this will be the basis for new SetupBuilder
versions. But the IDE does absolutely nothing with colors etc. so you'll
definitely run into the same problem in the future.

It still does not make any sense to me. You changed the monitor to AOC 32"
and this "locks" a Windows application. Setting compatibility mode to
"8-bit (256) colours" (brings us back to the Windows 95 days) and it's
working again. What a nightmare.

Sounds suspiciously like resource problems. Now that he can open the
SB IDE I would shrink it and save it, reset the colors and restart the
IDE to see it works. If it does he's running really low on video
memory.

Yes, I think you are right. With the new monitor and a higher screen
resolution, video memory (or an outdated driver) might be
the culprit here.

Funny thing is that the SetupBuilder IDE itself is not resource hungry at
all. It still works fine on Windows 2000 <g>.
