Looks like you are using a classic theme. I attempted to re-produce this bug by setting my settings (Vista) to classic. The arrows next to the number of games appeared.

I would try a restart, I read people who have intermittent issues with radio buttons, arrow buttons etc disappearing after a long time

There is a 2nd executable that comes with Pwnboxer called "vcredist_x86.exe".

It looks like you might need to run and install these C++ runtimes.

Also, make sure your windows is fully updated via "Windows Update".

Just by eyeballing it I can definitely see something is really weird with your PC as the window colors themselves are very weird. Pwnboxer uses a lot of the standard windows components, and your screenshot looks to me like you are missing some of them.

Try setting windows back to its defaults, make sure you run the file Muffin has mentioned, and match your your PC is fully patched.

Well i restarted my pc patched up to date and ran the vcredist_x86.exe but to no avail. It only happened in this release all other versions of Pwnboxer are fine. Thanks for the help though.

Can you post a screenshot of both Pwnboxers side by side please?

Also, what windows visual settings do you have?

Thanks for the screenshot. Yea it looks really clear that the issue is the WinSTD objects are not being drawn correctly, and I know these objects and impacted by windows window types and settings.

Odd that it was working in the old PB and not the new. Can you try deleting the new PB, then putting it inside its own folder on your desktop (Say, PB2), and unzipping all of the files to there, and running it again?

Also, try setting your windows theme to default (no rainy day scheme).

Managed to get in game for a bit but still having the same issue, sometimes when i loaded pwnboxer it was spazing out and you couldnt see anything, every time i clicked anything it would add a new game so managed to save it through config save. then next time i loaded up pwnboxer it would have that amount of games and i was able to play.

was running really choppy and couldn't move windows round or fast game switch between windows.

any help or if you could upload an older version of pwnboxer would be awesome.

Cheers
