Most likely a driver problem (or elsewhere in the software). I don't think there's _that_ much "context" on a G400 anyway... > That said, IIRC, you *can* still get multiple windows (different > processes) accelerated.

That way the problems that may exist will eventually get fixed :) And besides, it _is_ a very nice graphics API. --ms
