Well, I dont know if it's my computer, but here's a list of bugs:

-Sometimes a texture gets replaced by an odd dark-grey arrow on a grey button??? (looks like a window button)

-When I set "sync rate 60" my fps drops to 40, but when I set "sync rate 0" I get 60 fps :S (try it, if you have it set to 60)

-When I use a midi, the fps will drop to 7~12 when it's finished playing (a loop in the interpreter?)

Anyone else noticed them?

Don't know about that. Never happened to me before, although I had transparency problems on an Radeon 9000.

My FPS can go up to as high as 99 when I use sync rate 0. Yep, mine also stays at 40 when I use sync rate 60. My PC is slower than yours though (p4 1.5 ghz, 384mb rdram, geforce2mx 32mb). Maybe it's the polycount of your program?

Has something to do with the loop music command. It happens on mine no matter what format I use. I'm not sure if using stop music then play music instead will help it though.

We just kind of gave up .midis altogether. Instead we use .wavs/.mp3s, which can be produced by most midi-editing software packages. Haven't tried the play...stop....play method, though, I'll have to try that.

I've seen that, it's happened to me *LOTS* of times now
My solution: Don't use image num. 1!!!

I haven't had that problem, but my PC did set me back £1000...

It'd make sense, 'cuz I know from DirectX 8 programming first-hand that there's a function in DMPlayer8 (LoopEx) that's probably being used there...
