RE: Repeatable Win32Lib 'Resource' Problem

Hi George,

I think that issue is an XP thing.  I saw the same type of behavior when 
I was working on Judith's IDE (working on the text editor).  If I had 
the editor open when I locked my computer, I'd return to a screen full 
of those popups.  I believe that problem is related to how locking a 
computer in XP will lock out access to the DC of your window.  Every 
time the editor would try to flash the emulated cursor (handled by a 
timer that kept running) while the system was locked, it would throw out 
that warning until the system was unlocked again.  I suspect that your 
system gets locked in the same way before suspending.
