Creating compatibility rules for them to disable the hooks is the best way to go. We've attempted to fix up the issues before, but even hooks without any code in them will cause some apps to break ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-artifacting/?ID=7b295ae8-9ca2-4c90-9e46-eb8c64139f5a Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:35:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-artifacting/?ID=7b295ae8-9ca2-4c90-9e46-eb8c64139f5a DisplayFusion I didn't see a comprehensive list anywhere, but I've run into issues with several tools artifacting badly on Windows 7 64-bit while using DF 3.4 (and 3.3 in some cases). In each case disabling the Window Hook has fixed the artifacting (i.e. lines redrawing incorrectly when scrolling text)
