Hi,
I recently started using the 3D engine on Windows. Now, some somputer turn the screen black for a second or less when starting the program. I moved the line with "InitEngine3D()" into the subroutine which which starts the 3D stuff, but it always occurs on startup (which is surely normal as I expect the program always initializes the 3D engine on startup). However, is there a way to prevent it? Is it a driver thing or maybe the screen settings (resolution, framerate...)?

Could it be that you have an advanced graphics card? This can lead to hardware switching.
Or you are using different resolutions between Windows and Game Mode

Hi mk-soft,
I'm not switching between graphic modes, just opening a simple window and using OpenWindowedScreen() on it.
Unfortunately I don't know much about said computer, as it's provided by my employer. But hardware switching could be a reason.
We don't need to waste too much time on thinking about that, I was just curious. Everything works with this computer too.
