Try this:

Close down WinMx when you have the problem.

Right-click on the WinMx.exe in your Program Files WinMx folder.

On the menu that appears, click on Properties.

On the popup window that appears, click on the Compatibility tab.

Check-mark the box next to "Disable visual themes".

Restart WinMx.

It works for me when I have this problem. The WinMx window won't be as
pretty, but you won't lose the text. Apparently WinMx is not fully
compatible with all the snazzy hotrod stuff in XP.
