I have a very strange problem. I have a fps game I am programming in c++ with opengl. When the game starts you see a full screen dialog box with game options. Lets say you load a map, this maximizes a window that draws the scene and is the main game playing window. If the user presses ~ the game window minimizes and you can see the full screen dialog box again. This works fine MOST of the time. But sometimes when I go from a running map back to the dialog box the screen gets all garbled and I cant see the dialog box. If I restart the computer the problem goes away. It seems to be triggered by running the valve game "Day of Defeat". So my program will be working fine, then I go and play DoD for a bit, or even if I just load DoD and quit it right away, and all of a sudden I get this problem. What is happening - is my video card going into some weird mode when DoD is run that they dont exit from correctly?
