Desktop Background

| Hi, sometimes when returning from a miniB3D program I find the background to the desktop is plain black. Icons etc are there and work fine. I'm using Vista 64. It only happens sometimes and is easy to fix, but has anyone heard of this 'feature' Jim |

| What is your graphics hardware specs? Got latest drivers? (The ordinary question). |
| ||
| Sorry, no idea why that could be. Sounds like some sort of OpenGL conflict issue. |

| I have Radeon 4850 with the newest drivers. Funny that it only does it maybe 1 in 10 times. Like I said, not a problem really. Jim |

| I noticed this happening on occasion as well in vista 64. I'm using an nvidia 8800gt. If I remember correctly it always happens if I crash my code (with or without debugger, executed from bmax or from the exe) and very very very rarely when I exit normally. It happens more often on normal exits if I've crashed my code atleast once. This also happens with crashing some commercial games I've played in vista 64 so I think it's a vista 64 opengl release issue. somewhere along the line the desktop doesn't get the message that it's out of ogl and forgets to refresh. |
