Video lockup...
Hey there,

I'm not sure if this is engine related, or if its my hardware... but I've noticed something odd:

After I run a game, if I then go to launch my Esenthel app... the video wont show up, I get a blank window frame, with no rendering occuring... pretty much locks up... If I hold escape.. it'll exit the app.. So its as if the app is running - but no rendering is occuring... After a reboot - no code change - it'll work fine.

This occurs regardless of which tutorial I run...

Specs are : nVidia geForce 8800 gtx, AMD 6000+, windows xp, 2gb ram

Any suggestions?

hm.. never heard of such a thing
have you got the latest drivers?
what's the game that you're running before esenthel app? does this happen when running other games or only this one?

I've got the latest nVideo drivers installed... and it happens pretty much with any game I run...

I no longer think it's related to Esenthel as I noticed running Silo ( my modelling app) after games sometimes causes it to freeze up as well.

My power supply is WAY under specs for the 8800 so.. that might be it...

Odd...
