I have 15" al PB OSX 10.3.3

Sometimes happens that the graphics from the mail (mostly inbox button) stucks on the display and doesn't go away. Everything works fine, just this thing is sitting there and I have to restart comp to get rid of it. I tried to change the resolution there and back but didn't help.
Now The same happens with some dialog box ( No respons from scanner......blah blah).

Does anybody knows how to get rid of it without restart?

thx

Without actually seeing what's going on, it's tough to say specifically, but here are a few options:

-Try logging out and back in
-Try killing the window server process
-Try running a hardware test that checks your VRAM. If this fails, you need a new logic board.

I can't imagine any other possibilities. I'm leaning towards the second one. Note that this will log out all users and kill all open apps.

thanks for tips.
If I log out and back in, everything is ok, but it means as you have mentioned to close all apps. Thing is that it always happens when I'm in the middle of some project and lot of apps and docs which Im working on are open. Than is annoying when I work on some picture in photoshop and I have to be avoiding "inbox" button in the middle of the screen
well, but if there is no other way...........
