Blitz 3d apps - crash on first time startup

Hi all.

I have a simple question. I've made alot of Blitz game apps, and they all seem to have one flaw. Which I would like to fix, but I am not sure on how to.

Often, if the game is started for the first time after windows is started up, it shows a black screen. And nothing happens.

The remedy is always simple. Kill the Blitz app, and rerun it. Then it works (in 100% of all cases that I have observed)

Did anyone else notice this behaviour for Blitz 3d apps. Is it something in Blitz3d, or is it something in my own code?

Thanks

I've never seen that happen, have you tried running other peoples programs and seeing if it does the same thing? It might be your computer.

I'd suggest you post the working code of a program that does this, so we can test it and help track down the problem. Preferably keep the code as short, simple, and self-contained as possible.

Just started happining to me.....I think it has to do (in my case) with FFDShow......Codec related.

Maybe try reinstalling your GFX Card drivers...fixed it for me

BTW, I have an old GFORCE Card....!
