When you completely lose control of even being able to shut down a
computer, I consider that crashing the OS, even if it is "only"
causing total loss of control of the video.

refresh each window (e.g. by clicking the DXLab Launcher's Minimize
button followed by its Restore button), all will be well -- but its
easier to simply terminate the explorer.exe process beforehand.
Even so, I wonder if any other programs can do this to Vista? I
consider it to be a serious shortcoming.

it works; around SP2 or SP3, I would guess.
