2 bugs when running Vista
« on: September 28, 2008, 12:57:52 pm »
The drag selection box is being wierd, it leaves previous selection lines whilst dragging, which go when released.

And everytime i click on a new tool, or mode, the entire toolbox refreshes.

3D Joe, right click the executable, choose properties, and select XP compatible and disable desktop composition. This is a known issue.

Vista can't draw to the front-buffer worth crap.  You need to be in XP compatible mode.

Yeah, i set it in xp compatability, and i can see how a dynamic desktop will cause problems.

Vista wasn't written with the user in mind was it?

It runs fast, with all applications it arrives with, but if you add anything else, it goes mad and refuses to work.
