Windows Screen Refresh

Recently we replaced a user's XP computer with a Win 7 box.  They use HyperTerminal to connect to a fuel pump that is at their facility.  In the past when they were done with the pump they would disconnect the session and then press Alt+F4 to close the application.  Now when they do this HyperTerminal closes but they get a blank white box on the screen that hides a portion of the desktop.  You cannot see anything behind the box on the screen and it doesn't prevent you from working on the machine.  The only way that I have found to make it go away is to log out and then back in again.  Does anyone know the cause of this behavior or a way to resolve the problem?

I will be going to that client today or tomorrow and will see if I can duplicate the issue and take a look if HyperTerminal is closing out.

With assistance from another member I was able to determine the cause of the problem.  The suggestion from the other member was not the solution but guided me in a direction that led to resolution which is why I accepted their post as a part of the solution as the box getting created was due to a running program just not the one they suggested.
