Odd behaviour in games with PD6.50
I've been playing a couple of games since 4.15am local time, as I couldn't sleep anyway 
The Games:
- Project IGI
- Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
- Star Trek DS9: The Fallen
I rebooted after every game, just to check, after I first noticed this anomaly.
I play these games from a Games directory on my desktop. In this folder are the shortcuts to these games.
Because the games started up from that folder, that folder would remain open on the desktop. Normally no problem, but I've seen in all 4 games, that when the CD-ROM drive or the harddrive is accessed for data, that the open Games folder would 'shine' through the game.
I constantly see a flashing blue bar saying C:\Windows\Desktop\Games in the top side of the games (about an inch from the top-leftcorner of the monitor), when those games load from the harddrive or cd-rom.
I'm not OC'ing my G400 anymore, have VSynch off, 32bit z-buffer on, only one monitor attached. Windows ME.
Any idea why it does this?
