I can use sPatch fine for hours on my Win95 box if it's the only program
running.

If megapov is running at the same time and I switch between them, there
is the following problem:

1) The window for sPatch often locks up. I think I can save and open
files fine, but all visual information about my mesh is either frozen,
blank, or lost to an image of whatever would be on the screen right
behind it.

2) When I go to Megapov, I often find that the window for one or more of
my scene files gets locked up. It, too, will either be blank, show a
false display of "another" working scene file window, or a view of
whatever would be on the screen right behind it.

Multiple reboots and/or reloads of the sPatch can fix the problem for a
few minutes.

Who's to blame, you ask?  MegaPov?  sPatch?  How about Windows?  ;-)

Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of this.  I'll have to test it
on my system and see if I can duplicate it.  I have no idea why this would
happen, though.

It's Win95. Don't you kinda wish you could catch Gates back behind the
dumpsters? :)

The problem has repeated again.

I used sPatch full screen at 1064 x 768 for about an hour with no troubles.
Then after several saves, and going between shaded and wireframe views, the
screen locked up. I closed & reloaded sPatch several times with no help.

Then going to mega, all of the windows for my open files behaved the
same--just an image of what would have been on the screen behind.  Reloading
mega several times was of no help.

The only solution was to reboot.
