I tried it and it works better with the acceleration now. I did get some strange freezes while using fullscreen though. I am uncertain as to what may have caused it. They are erratic and just temporary but on a somewhat regular basis. Maybe it is my antivirus program that wants to check the program but is not given enough time to do so. I usually have a 1 second sleep time before continuing my applications just to make sure that the system gets enough time to do what it needs to do. I am not sure it would help in this case though. Well, I am off for the night. I'll have another look tomorrow. Feel free to drop me a note in my forum if you have questions (its in my office) the link is below. I will have a look on your app there in the morning.

What do you think so far?
sorry, didn''t reply for a long time. this is the problem i had with alt+tab:
your game is running is 640x480 right? my desktop is in 1152x864. I pressed alt+tab, although it goes back to desktop, mouse visible, no crash, it''s still in 640x480, and if i am correct ( don''t have the game now, i''ll try it when i get home ), the game background is still there, instead of my desktop background.
running xp pro, 950mhz duron, 256 ddr memory, 64mb geforce4mx440.

That''s exactly the problem I was describing (that appears to be fixed). Sometimes it crashes, other times, the background is repeated is repeated on the desktop with major discoloration...You say it stayed in game resolution? Hmm, I''ll go double check the ChangeDisplaySettings calls...

Updated again...The problem with the small freezes should be better in the new version.
I encountered some strange behaviour when running in window mode: suddenly the ball started bouncing between the bottom and about 1cm over the bottom (when running in window mode, 1024x768). After a few seconds, the ball went back to normal again. Also, I think the menu colors are confusing.

I just modified the hell out of the Alt+Tab code. Please tell me if this is any better.
Sometime this weekend I plan on reworking the menu code and adding a survival mode (with high scores of course)...Are there any other "features" that you might like to see added to the game?

I like the game, but i think it is a tad hard ... I think you should maybe make the paddles a bit bigger and also make the up ability thing shorter, when I used it it helped me, but usually also caused me to score on myself because I couldnt see it for a while, just consider these, great game and im working on an enhanced version of pong now! Good Job
