It suddenly was there. If it's a window, which I don't think it is, it's chromeless. Show desktop command doesn't remove it. It's on top of everything. Even the mouse pointer goes under it (see attached image), so I can't click it. It's there even during startup. I doesn't show up on a screen cap so I attach a phone pic instead. It covers about 10% of my screen.

I've updated the Nvidia drivers and tried some other tricks I found on the web. Didn't help. It doesn't seem to be an uncommon problem though and I think it may be a Windows problem.

Any experience of this?

Crap! Now the attachment gizmo doesn't work at all. It just refreshes and says No file selected. Yeah right. I'll put the photo on the web.

Could it be that they can only make a reservation for a limited time? Can't remember how it works now.

Maybe. But the odd thing is there was no record of my transaction for two days. If I hadn't been a person that keeps track of my spendings and had just checked my account balance I could have spent that money again and then my account would have been overdrawn or they wouldn't have been able to draw the money at all. It's a spending account, and I don't keep more than about double the amount I spend each month there.
