I noticed something accidentally today that i thought I'd just bring to Jim's attention...
If I have Flash 5 or MX running on my system and the screensaver comes on, when the screensaver is deactivated (mouse jiggle or ESC), I get an application error in Flash, but it's a different error message depending on which version of Flash I have running.
In Flash 5, the message reads:
The instruction at "0x62880052" referenced memory at "0x08880000". The memory could not be "read".
In FlashMX, the message reads:
The instruction at "0x6288008e" referenced memory at "0x0bcc0000". The memory could not be "read".
This isn't a big deal, I'm just glad I didn't have work going that I hadn't saved when I found the problem. Of course, that's not to say it's the screensaver either, could be Flash. Either way, maybe this'll keep someone from losing some work.
I'm on a PIII 900Mhz using Windows 2000. I have Win98SE at home and will gladly try there as well and post later. I'm pretty sure the 2000 system is running DirectX8.1. I know I am at home.
