I'm trying to run Java3D in fullscreen mode under windows XP. Specifically the fullscreen demo at http://www.computerbooth.com/j3d/FullscreenDemo.zip. Actually, running it works just fine. I run into trouble when I use ALT-TAB to switch away from fullscreen mode. At this point, the virtual machine ungracefully terminates with an error:

All I ever got back was the automated "We've recieved your error report and someday might possibly read it." Anyway, I'm wondering: 1. Has anybody else experienced this error? Has anyone managed to create a fullscreen Java3D application that doesn't produce this sort of error? Is there any kind of workaround? 2. Should I report the problem to Sun again? =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
