Lately I've been using my old Win98SE / DX7 PC for some testing. The program doesn't start up properly on this machine.
1. I put a shortcut to WindowDemo.exe on my desktop and close all windows.
2. When I double click the shortcut I see the outline of a window. There is nothing inside the window. I just see through to the desktop.
3. I can drag the window border to resize. The window is still empty while this is happening.
4. As soon as I release the mouse button the bird demo begins running in the resized window. Everything works correctly now.
EDIT: See my message farther down this thread. The real culprit was a 640x480 desktop.
