[JAVA3D] Stereo Instability Bug?

[Nathan Bower]

List / Sunteam,   I have been having stability problems when developing my code. About every one in thirty or so runs the program would seemingly break. I would not be able to interact with the system at all, yet MP3's kept playing and the net (my computer is gateway) kept on working. The program always seemed to halt at this point:   System.out.println ("canvas.getStereoAvailable            : " + canvas.getStereoAvailable());   I realise that this could be specific to my system, so I entirely re-installed two sundays ago, the problem became less frequent, but still there. Here are my system specifics:     Intel 866 P III (not overclocked) 384 mb pc 133 ram Abit something or other mobo, Intel chipset Asus Geforce3-ti200 at orignal core & ram speeds   Win XP pro Java SDK 1.4 Java3d 1.3 b SDK Java3d 1.3 b JRE Nvidia 23.11 drivers Nvidia stereo driver patch (removed nv*.dll from windows directory to remove 85 error) (IIRC the problem still happened without this patch)   Im going to rem all stereo options for a bit and see what happens.   Is this a known bug? Anybody else had similar experiences?     Nathan
