Problem with running SFC-OP "windowed"
« on: August 04, 2006, 07:05:38 pm »
I have an odd error, it worked a few times running windowed, now I get this error:



It loads as a black window, and only task manager will get rid of it. I opted to try this feature because my system often locks up if I minimize SFC (using the 'windows start button' key), then maximize again. I'm running an older system, a P2 350 with 384 Mb RAM, ATI Radeon 7500 64Mb video using Win XP.

Anyone help on this, by chance? And no obvious comments about taking this old horse out back and shooting it LOL Thanks folks-

That fixed it- thanks! I never woulda thought of that, but as soon as I read it, it made sense, it might even help with minimizing running full screen. You da man Dizzy :D

I get one as well. I just click ok and it loads fine.

Get one what? Are you guys failing the security check when logging into the server? Yet the server is still letting you in? If so, we are screwed.

Oh wait, the image above just loaded... I know what is happening there, you don't need to worry about it. It the the NW mission config file. It is required. It just does not show that error when the application is modal and full screen.
