ok, got some weird symptoms occurring on my computer....

Using Kazaa Lite to download some stuff, movie files (mpg films), copying some stuff to DirectCD-enabled CD, the standard "copying to" box came up, but where it would normally be grey background, it was pink :/

then I opened a folder, my active desktop was disabled, I tried to re-enable it, then it said the HTML template for this active desktop was missing....hmm I thought

Since then its started running again fine, not sure what on earth it was :/

"**** Happens"

But ofc, it may be a cunning new Gator Corp ploy. Everybody knows Kazza Lite is really still Kazza, but viral marketed to seem "Spyware Free", right?

Of course, but I was just like 'Pink? WTF?'

Strangest little glitch I've ever seen

thats prolly your computer running low on system resources ie RAM etc.

Rebooting usually solves it

Pink as in bright pink? Sometimes happens.

The bright pink colour is used in the copying animation on the dialog u mention. Windows uses the set pink colour as a mask when blitting to effectivly create a transparent background (that way the animation doesnt look stupid on dialogs with custom colours).

Its not uncommon for graphic related things in Windows to go tits up. This sir, was one of those times.
