I happen to open Moviestorm tonight to work on Lost in a Film Ep 2 when suddenly this happens:
Ah, the overthrown, merged red, blue and green pixels. A bad omen, perhaps? Oh, a little something to prove this is Moviestorm, not some other program bugging my computer: 
Yes, that is my weak 19-incher... 
The hourglass icon proves this is taken from a bug in Moviestorm. Please apologize for my screenshots. I do not have a screenshot tool (care if you could recommend me some?) and with the state of my computer during this...bug, I strongly think that my computer will not respond to take a shot of the screen, I had to reboot to get back to the desktop. I am already investigating this problem, just wanted you to know, and I definetely appreciate some support. Spong3y -------------------- [witty signature pending]

Oh damn Spong3y!!! How the hell would you even begin to try to start thinking about how to troubleshoot that?
Man, I wish you the best of luck. --------------------  |

Hey Spong3y. The PrtScn (alt-PrtScn for just a single window) button takes a screenshot and puts in in your clipboard. Then you can paste that into paint or something and save it as a file.

Thanks. Never thought of that. The problem is now fixed, must be that my 9600 stopped responding again (it's dying pretty slowly). It never shows up again, for now. -------------------- [witty signature pending]

Yeah, that kind of looks like a graphics card failure. I've seen a few similar things myself, where one of the graphics buffers becomes corrupt, but never that bad. Hopefully it won't happen again.
