Windows pretty much sucks with hardware acceleration because it rampages through anything on the video Not sure if it is possible to lose the actual display surface though.
ahhh, that's a good point. I've switched back to software blits anyway I only tried hardware because my old machine was struggling with framerate and I didn't want to prematurely optimise some maths bits but unless someone comes along and changes trigonometry it's not premature anyway ;) When 1.8 is released I'll see if I can reproduce the error. cheers guys. -- Steve 'sparkes' Parkes - tshirts http://nerd.ws - code http://zx-81.com
