Author Topic: White Screen 'O Death (Read 345 times)

SkyVon · « **on:** January 02, 2001, 11:26:00 AM »

Twice now, while on a long and boring ride (once in a bomber, the other in a panzer) I alt-tab'd out of AH to surf the web some (I have a cable modem). After about 5 min of stimulation, I come back to AH only to find the White Screen 'O Death. I lose all js and kb control, my only option is to reach over and press the reset button.

Whats up with this?

For the sake of those of us that sometimes do the "long haul", please put in an inflight movie or something to keep us entertained if this problem cannot be fixted.

I'm assuming you have DirectX 7.0a?

Was 7.0...just upgraded to 8.0

I too get the white screen of death. Usually when manipulating RW. What I discovered is that if I alt-tab back and forth several times, eventually the screen will reset and everything is back to normal. While on the white screen though, do not touch the joystick, etc as control inputs are fully operational. As is, auto-climb, etc.
