I am close to thinking computers and their programs are actually demons
viciously sitting on our desktops waiting for the moment we are most
vulnerable....
Without too much detail, a USB-host-to-host bridge app called
"genelink" --which had been working fine for weeks--this morning totally
screwed up _both_ my computers to such an extent that I was in DOS and Safe
Mode all day on first one, then the other, fixing the same problem the same
way: blow off every possible program that might have been causing a sequence
of five to eight Blue Screens of Death (which appeared each time a tasktray
applet tried to load), including VPython --_by_mistake_--; then use
DriverCleaner to eradicate all traces of nVidia drivers, and reinstall the
drivers.
Upshot: For Who Knows What Demonic Reason, VPython now is no longer exiting
all the windows when closing the graphics/stereo window.
Thanks to all (for no reason other than friendliness and helpfulness, 'cause
this one also got fixed without me having the least idea what fixed it).
The suggestion I reinstall VPython was probably it, but who knows?
(*sigh*; and I wanted to use computers. Rue the Day.)
Merry and Happy, Christmas and New Year.
