When I have Mabinogi running, it tends to make it so my other programs no longer display properly. If I switch between them, they do not display, instead only switching to a new window frame and part of what was there originally. Forefox displays black boxes for a lot of images. If I close Mabi or minimize it, some issues get resolved, but not all. Skype stops updating.
I run dual displays on Nvidia hardware and Windows XP. My DirectX and drivers are up-to-date. Again, I am not having trouble with Mabi displaying, instead Mabi is screwing everything else up. It started about 4-5 weeks ago.

I have this kind of problem too. The black boxes showing up and blocking some windows/web browsers.
Though I ignored it by just refreshing the monitor or moving the windows/inside contents around.

Sounds like a problem caused by the resolution of mabinogi's client.

Are you running mabi in full screen mode? I'm not too sure that mabinogi is coded to run on dual monitors. Haven't tested this out myself, as i like to run mabi in window mode. There is no need for me to stretch mabi over 30+ inches of screen real estate when i could be using that to do other stuff.
If your dual monitoring and running full screen, mabi should only take up one of the screens, but your computer may be thinking that mabi is covering both screens, causing these black images to appear and so forth. Since mabinogi is being rendered on one screen, but your computer thinks that its on both screens, pictures and such show up as black since "mabi is there" according to your computer, but its not there on your screen. When you minimize, mabi is no longer there according to your computer hence everything improves.
About skype, no idea about that. Reinstall Skype is my suggestion.
Try switching to window mode. If your already in window mode, mabi's is probably bogging down your hardware. Dual screens have its purposes, but you'll also be cutting your video ram in half. One half for each screen.
How to fix? get better hardware.

I run in windowed mode, at ~1600x1200 resolution, filling one screen except for the taskbar. I use the other screen for my skype convo, Firefox for wiki pages, etc. I've been doing this for a year and a half.

It's been running fine for over a year. It's not bogging down my hardware, it a change in the game client where it's screwing up DirectX for other applications. It is a recent change. It screws up Firefox (images on pages and the toolbars / menu bar) and Skype (pretty much everything). These programs run perfectly when Mabi is not running -- they are not the problem.
