Win16 critical section error
i was reading about directx8, and something i think was called "win16 critical section err" was mentioned. basically, if you lock a surface and forget to unlock it, windows slowly degrades and eventually fusses atomically causing a massive explosion of energy; ending your gamming fun.
what is this phenomena and why does it occur?
its called a ''Win 16 global critical section lock''
"what this means is that if you dont unlock the surface, your machine will have a long and torterous death." ...
"windows 2000 and later will not die "... "but it will greatly slow until you turn off your machine"

im wondering about why the machine slows down.
