when powder toy is in full screen, the flash plugin in firefox will crash. checking the memory usage, there is plenty of memory avalible for both to run.does this have something to do with the way the graphics are rendered and displayed?

I am using the 64 bit version of windows, which might be relevant.

is there a work-around or do I need to turn off the browser whenever using TPT?

do you turn on this game on?

Thank you, here is a free game. Why not? (do not accuse me if it lags or even crashes your computer)

I'm not quite sure what your asking, but I think it crashes any flash that's open. advertisements,media players, games, chatrooms, anything running in the flash plugin will crash after a short time of TPT being run. the strange thing is that some days it doesn't crash, but others it does with the exact same conditions.

 the RAM usage is at 60% max when both are running(though it's often closer to 50).(that means there's still another 40% or 1.6GB left).

RAM 1600 4GB(Duel channel)

CPU 4.2Ghz AMD A8-6600k(64-bit)

I think fullscreen mode changes your screen resolution so that it fits better, something about that might be what's causing it to crash. But all of the fullscreen stuff is handled by SDL so I don't really know what to say about this ...

that actually could be it- as some applications don't like their resolution changed(some games will freeze up if the res gets changed while it's running). I guess that might be a problem with my graphics drivers then. I'm considering sqitching to nvidia anyway
