Odd screen lockup
Cant remember anyone posting about this before and wondered if anyone else has seen this.
If I start my pc and run Vendetta straight away I have no problems. But if I use my browser first (Opera v7.1) I can log on etc. and start playing but aprox. 3 minutes after entering space (i.e. does not happen while docked) I get a hard lockup, with the screen totally frozen and I need to reboot.
As far as I can see there is absolutely nothing in the error logs. They are totally blank after the reboot.
This is recreatable every time I have tried it (5-6 times now) and as I said does not affect me if I start from the initial boot. Not sure exactly when it started happening but has lasted through the last 2 updates (3.2.9/3.2.10) at least.
Spec.
Win 98se
2000xp
gf4 4400
512mb ram
ADSL connection via USB
Running Zone Alarm Pro and Norton AV

Maybe Opera has a bug and isn't unloading itself properly from memory. Did ya check there? How about trying a diff browser (ie, mozilla, etc) to see if the problem is unique to opera or occurs any time www access occurs?
