Default Mysterious little box flashes as Protools loads...?

When I'm booting up Protools 11, there's a little box that flashes for a second on the upper left hand corner of the desktop screen.

Has anyone else encountered this? Should I be concerned that's it's possibly malware?

I'm on a Mac 10.8.5. Using Mackeeper. Run anti virus and everything else regularly.

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Lisa

Seen this some on my Windows rig. I suspect its simply a graphics glitch while the software loads

I think its the video engine loading. I'm fairly sure it doesn't happen when that is unchecked in the playback engine dialog.

What are you posting about? What error? Are you talking about the problem in your other thread? Nothing in this thread will be relevant to that. If you want help on DUC try to follow the rules here and keep discussions in one thread.
