GE unresponsive to window commands after screensaver

Postby edh » Mon Feb 11, 2008 12:21 am

I've been having a recurring problem with my GE window when the screensaver comes on. When I log back in, GE is no longer full screen, it's just a tiny window showing a portion of the title bar. It won't respond to maximize or frame resizing. I have to kill it with task manager and restart the application.

I have Windows XP sp 2 on a laptop that may have some power save mode, but it seems like GE doesn't handle a windows message when the screensaver goes away.

Anyone else see anything like this before?

Actually, I noticed these things happening as well... Although my problem seems more inconsistent. GE window sometimes becomes unresponsive, and seems to also affect my task manager bar to be really fidgety or have massively delayed responses (sometimes 2 minutes for a window to actually reapear). Maybe this is a bug...

I'm glad to see that other people have this problem ... because it can probably be fixed by Makslane. Where is Makslane lately?
