Unable to properly run SDL applications in windows
Author
Hello,
Whenever i try to run a SDL application in windows the window "freezes", by that i mean nothing is drawn in it and only what was behind the window when the application started is seen in the window (kinda hard to explain :D).
I've tried two different versions of SDL and four different DLLs.
I've tried both programs written in python and C++, I'v tried wriing them myself and those written by others.
I've tried compiling myself and precompiled binaries.
Nothing works :'(.
SDL works like a charm in KUbuntu linux on the same computer.
Intel (yes i know they suck) Pentium M 1.73Ghz
1024MB DDR RAM
Intel 915i GM express or whatever it is called.
Please write what is the:
- Windows version
- SDL version
- compiler version
Also, it would help if you could post here smallest possible example of a program which reproduces your problem.
Personally, I'm running SDL 1.2.8/1.2.9 apps on Windows XP for about 1,5 year and never had such problems :-) probably there's sth wrong with the way you're handling your events.

I know what you are describing. It's how mine behaved when I accidently left out the code to swap the graphics buffers. Have you included this in your render function?

Umm... Happened here also; are you loading something? This might not be the problem, but the only thing I can think of is some kind of infinite loop, or some kind of loading problem...
What compiler, and what windows version?
Does this work?
#include <SDL/SDL.h> // Bah, whatever it is :).int main(int, char*[]) { SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL_Delay(2000); SDL_Quit();}C++

It's not a problem with any programs i write, it's with all applications using SDL, for example ScummVM.

Maybe the dll got screwed somehow. Virus? Replace sdl.dll and see what happens.

I've tried 5 different DLL's.
I'm using Windows XP pro.
It works in KUbuntu linux on the same computer.

Yes, I have to most recent drivers from Intel (I updated them about 1½month ago so thay might not be the newest but pretty much).
