KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------------------------
Invisible! Pro is perfectly compatible with windows95 and windows 98. Thousand people enjoy it without problems. BUT if ACTIVE DESKTOP is enabled, both programs may not run properly: everytime user click on an icon, the colored block reappears. As far as I know, no solution was found until now. This problem is due both to transparency and active desktop features. The only way to get rid of reappearing colored block is HIT F5 KEY to refresh desktop.
