RE: [GD-Windows] Windows paints my window!

[Andrew G. <ag...@cl...>]

I found doing

Pump message loop
TestCoopLevel
Lock/Load/Unlock

Between each resource and handling errors accordingly got rid of these
ctrl+alt+del crashes on nvidia hardware.

I may just have been lucky however.

So, bottom line: should PeekMessage() be called or shouldn't it while
loading video resources? We're going to try commenting it out (since the
window white effect was successfully removed by the hollow brush) and see if
it happens less often.
