[Visualpython-users] Re: Horror story ends; all-windows shutdown remains

[John B. <jb...@te...>]

Thank you, Bruce, Jacob; I will try to find out what's causing the
total-shutdown with graphics window-closing.
(If nobody uses scene.exit=0, then what's it _for_?)

On the other thing, the scrambling video, I can't provide any data because
it's not doing it any more (and I don't know why).
Like an unscientific fool, I meddled with too many things at once, chief
among which was a) running two video-card benchmarkers (AquaMark and
3DMark03) to diagnose the card itself, then (b) tweaking many things in the
card's drivers in hopes of upping frame rate (my sixty dollar card ain't as
fast as I thought it was), and (c) reinstalling nVidia's 8x.xx (latest)
drivers on both computers ('shotgun' approach).

When I again ran my VP program some hours later, it ran perfectly; no video
glitches at all with 10,000 points on screen, and flawless zoomings-in and
out.

So: mystery not solved, no data to help out if anyone else ever sees that
('cause I don't know which meddle fixed it), and all that once-valid
VP-guessing info is now worthless 'cause I don't think I could get the
problem back even if I wanted to.
(And I _don't_ want to.)

Upshot: Bandwidth-sorry;  apologies for bothering;  my bad;  
problem 'a' gone;  problem 'b' now under diagnosis.

Peace
JB
