    I just got a new work station.  After my install of 4.8.1 there is a blank window in the middle of the main notebook++ window.  It has a menu bar with a x to close it.  If I attempt to move the window it crashes the program.  If I close the window it seams like it spawns to more rogue windows one above the main document which pushes the main document down and another on the right.  Again I can close the one on top but the right one is far enough to the right I can not see the x.  I tried loading 4.7.5 and had the same issue.

      I did try renaming the plugin folder which did not solve the problem.

      After some digging around on the new work station I noticed it was running ATI's Hydravision.  I disabled hydravision and the problem went away.  After looking at the properties enabled for hydravision there is an option to enable which monitor a dialog box appears on.  After disabling this option and running hydravision again the problem did not reappear.

      Is there a hidden dialog in Notepad++ that is brought to the surface via Hydravision?

      My guess is a bug in a plugin.  Try taking all of the .dll files out of the Plugins folder and see if it fixes the problem.  If so, add them back in one at a time, restarting Notepad++ between each one until the problem appears again.  Then you'll know which plugin is causing the problems.
