Im not sure what this does in the background. The proceses may be the same, or similar to the regular man function. I am thinking that there could have been a problem with my intellimouse and video settings. I know this sound really far fethced. I believe that this strange hypothesis is justified because I set my colors to = 24 bpp and my mouse (and display) went crazy. I now have my color deapth set to 16 bpp. I have not had anothe lock up yet. We will see.
