hello,

it seems that whenever my fullscreen app gets minimized or isnt
fullscreen anymore ( like when the windows key or alt-tab is
pressed ) that the app crashes with a standard parachute deployed
error. is there anyway to disable the windows key or alt-tab from
bring up the change-program box? or does anybody have any
suggestions as to why my app is crashing?

Might be a result of DirectX losing your surfaces when you leave
fullscreen mode… Are you doing s/w rendering (via ->pixels) into
h/w surfaces?
