[QUOTE="newbra, post: 123440, member: 30193"] Hi, This problem when exiting other programs and returning to MP is bothering the hell out of me too. In fact it is the only thing bothering me in the otherwise great environment that MP is... Now, what I would like to know, how common is this issue, does it ever work at all? Setup/Hardware? I have 2 completely different computers and tried it on both, one ATI card, the other Nvidia, both WinXP-SP2 and DX9c. Same results on both, it just never works. The only programs that I can exit and return to MP okay are things like explorer.exe. No game or emu returns to MP properly and interestingly even if I call something like the Mame32 GUI window without ever running a game and exit, it still doesn't return to a proper MP screen. MP itself seems to be still working, reacts to input but the screen remains black, sometimes if I blindly click the right button it will redraw parts of the MP screen (like button text only) but still never return to a useable state. I tried both the latest release version and snapshot update, no difference. Use exclusive DX mode makes no difference either. Does this work for anyone at all? I just want to know if there is "hope" before I start writing dozens or batch files like EasyTargeT suggests. [/QUOTE]
