I waited for a while but nobody else has mentioned this.

When I run any DarkBASIC Pro P4 exe, an image of the last DBP app (like an in-game screenshot) that I ran appears very briefly (1/2 second) then goes and the exe carries on as normal.

This does not apply until the second time I run an app after starting Windows, so I presume there is a memory buffer somewhere which DBP isn't clearing.

It isn't a major problem - I just think that it might look slightly unprofessional in a proper game.

I have a GeForce 3 Ti 200 / WinXP / DX 9.0 PC and a RivaTNT 2 / WinXP / DX 8.0 PC and they both suffer from this.

Gmax does the exact same thing as well as 3d exploration so it might be a directx thing.

Specs:
OS: Win XP
Graphics card: Geforce 4 ti 4200
DirectX: verison 9 although it did it with 8.1 as well.

This is fixed for patch 5. We didn't clear the screen straight away after Direct3D had been set up so because of this you could see data from previous applications.
