Re: [Plib-users] Video Lockups

[Jon M. <be...@ma...>]

Oops, I mis-spoke.  WinAMP works fine, it's MediaPlayer 7 that locks the 
system for me.  I haven't debugged it much (I'm using WinAMP now :), but 
basically it would lock if I had visuals on and MP was minimized and 
then I brought MP to the front while my plib app was running.  By lock I 
mean that the mouse locks and the music keeps on playing indefinitely.

When I'm at the machine next I'll try and narrow it down a bit more.  
Others with the same config have not seen this so it may well be that 
I'm the only one that hasn't gotten the good drivers or something like 
that.  So far no other gl/dx apps seem to do this, although there are 
several NVidia sdk samples that flat out reboot the box.
