The shadow renderes with garbage for a button drop menu in toolbar on IE under win98, I sent a screen shot to support.

Happens on multiple machines and vid cards/drivers.

The problems on Windows 98 are caused by using the msimg32.dll library which is buggy on any OS earlier than Windows 2000 and may even throw unhandled exceptions such as memory access violations. Please find the following line in the ExtPaintManager.cpp file:

m_hDllMsImg = ::LoadLibrary(_T("msimg32.dll"));
Please replace this line with the following two lines:
if( m_bIsWin2000orLater )
        m_hDllMsImg = ::LoadLibrary(_T("msimg32.dll"));
The problems on Windows 98 will gone.
