Popup message box in VB6 with Intel® Iris™ and HD Graphics random not show Windows 8/8.1

[BSand8]

Hi,

Have a issue in our old Visual Basic 6 program.

When a Message box should popup in the program it not displayed ( like it's hidden but is there)

Sometime it show but most time it not show ( 1 of 5 times it not show the popup box)

With AMD or Nvidia it allways work.

Have tested a couple of Intel Graphics HD modell

It's only the latest Intel Gen.4 that this happen.

If I change to Microsoft Standard driver it work.

Know this is old, but dose anyone have a clue what can couse this only on Intel HD Gen4 graphics like Iris ?

Computer tested on has

Intel i7- 4500U - 4400HD

Intel i5-4200M - 4600HD

Hi Joe,

I have some information for you about this problem that we have figured out.

We did some modification/workaround to this issue in our program.

I will not say it's a fix because this only happen in your driver.

The modification we did was to delay that creation of this popup window 0.05-0.1 seconds.

I seams like it's a timing problem, it can be that your driver is to fast or to slow when we don't have the delay in the program.

I send you the Testprogram with this modification for you to see if you also get it to work on the New Intel HD Gen.5 Graphics 5300, HD Graphics 5500, HD Graphics 5600, and 6200+6300HD.

This information my help your development team to find the solution faster. If you need the source code I can send it too.

We still don't whan this delay to be in our program but having this solv it temporarily for us.

We still waiting for the driver that work without this delay.
