Default pwnboxer display bug

When I start WOW with "Apply graphics level" checked, the smaller windows are black. Only the mouse cursor becomes standard wow hand when on top of them. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit Professional. Is there any way around it?

Have you been using Pwnboxer for a while, and this is something new? Or are you a new user and have gotten the program to work properly?

I'm not a PB user, but the more details you give the easier it will be to diagnose your problem.

I'll throw out the generics:
- Are your video drivers up to date?
- Do you have an addon that conflicts with PB (could try wow with all addons disabled, to see if a conflict is the cause; Recount has been known to cause problems in the past)?
- Are you running Pwnboxer as an Administrator?

Things to check. Start one wow without pwnboxer, go into your graphics settings and under advanced, make sure the DX11 isn't selected, change it to DX9 under API. Close that client to save the settings, then open wow with pwnboxer. I think all multiboxing software was having that issue if you don't have DX11 setup drivers, video card support, etc... Thats what happened to me and thats how I fixed it.

Okay, setting DX9 in advanced settings did it, thanks!
But wait, I thought HD 5770 was a DX11 compatible card. And I just updated to the latest drivers. Is there some special trick?

Also how come the DX11 mode works fine when I don't force lower graphics levels?

DX11 works fine for me with pwnboxer however I don't use pwnboxer's apply graphics level setting. it's slightly outdated for the 4.x wow client. pwnboxer 3.x is due in the near future if you wish to use that feature. I just set my games graphics levels manually.

note: DX11 works fine for me because i'm also absolutely certain I have a DX11 compatible video card (two way sli 480 GTX nvidias) and the latest directx installed.

It does work that way for me, too. Try to use the apply graphics level to test it, btw.
