Bizarre Fullscreen Mode Behavior

[eric_simmerman]

I'm running version 1.02 and windowed and desktop modes work great, but fullscreen mode turns my screen black, flickers for about 2 seconds, then minimizes MilkDrop. I've installed the latest nVidia drivers and re-installed Direct-X 8.1 to no avail. I also tried the minimum texture size and video modes with no luck. I'm running:

AMD Athlon 1.4GHZ
512MB DDR
PowerColor GEForce2 MX 400 64MB

I've attached the Milkdrop generated debug file which logged from the time I started the plug-in through th bizarre behavior and my subsequent stopping of the plug-in. Any pointers on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wow, that's strange.
obviously (from the debug file), MilkDrop is encountering an error when trying to draw the first frame.
I suggest that some direct correspondence with geiss would probably get you somewhere.

Eric,

I e-mailed you a DLL to try out. Hopefully it will fix the problem. It seems that milkdrop is getting a WM_KILLFOCUS message before frame 0, so it goes into "sleepy mode" :igor:, where it returns immediately every frame, until it gets a WM_SETFOCUS message that brings it back (which isn't happening). I've changed it to account for this, so give it a shot, and let me know if it works now.

cheers-
