Revolution standalones and Windows terminal services

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

I just discovered that setting winamp's transparency (which is 
drop down sweet) causes these refresh problems including with
windows' title bars and some task bar displays.

Just in case this may help... 

Naturally, RunRev is affected... black buttons, missing titlebars.

Maybe W2k3 display drivers dont like transparencies...
