Re: [JAVA3D] Freeze under Windows98

[Philip Taylor]

its possible the j3d runtime is leaving d3d in a bad state.   if you have the dx sdk, run killhelp or pview from MSVC tools and kill the ddhelp process.   another test is can you run a plain d3d application after exit and/or kill ddhelp?   that helps isolate whether its the j3d or the d3d runtime that is in a bad state.   if its just the dlls and runtime are left in a bad state I find about 8 out of 10 times killing ddhelp enables me to run applications without reboot. if the card is truly wedged that does require a reboot..   an alternate path is to help debug the j3d runtime with a kernel debugger like soft-ice and post the results. -----Original Message----- From: Malguy, Eric G.
