I was coding in DBP, the program compiled/ran normaly. I changed the resolution setting, and tried again. Worked fine. But when I pressed ESC (to close it), the computer rebooted. When I got back into windows, it said it was my video card's fault. Then I got back into DBP, and tried running it again. Oddly, no window opened. It looked like it was minimized (program name in the taskbar, but no window). Then I tried running some other thing, and that didn't work either. I tested Operation Invasion Evasion, and as before, it looked like it had been minimized. So now, nothing made in DBP works anymore. Yet other 3D games still work! I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to fix this. Any ideas?

That's a weird one. Maybe back up all your progs and try reinstalling DBP? If everything else works but that, something probably happened to it and a reinstall would probably fix the problem.

I don't think re-installing DBP would make much of a difference for one reason: Operation Invasion Evasion was compiled on another computer (VanB's?), with DBP Trial version. Completly different from mine, DBP full, patched. So if OIE won't work, then it means it's not a problem with the compiler. Uninstalling, then re-installing it shouldn't make any difference.

Do you have WinXP? Run system restore.

Ok, I tried that, restored it to the day before the crash. Still not working.

The fact the window appears in the taskbar then nothing suggests there's something up with your windows.

Look for any memory eating processes. Another thing I found to cause those symptoms is when more than one copy of your game open at the same time.

Two strings walk into a bar. I'll have a pint says the first$%ASLDJ09920D"$"$D. Excuse my friend says the second, he isn't null terminated.

I looked in the task manager, and found the game's process. Supposedly "Not responding", it takes up 95% of the CPU. And it's the only thing running other than the editor.
