It saves the old vector, takes the mouse movement, mangles the data and passes them on. So far so good, you even can uninstall it. But if I change resolutions in color mode (e.g. low rez -> medium rez), the acc gets loaded again and has no way to detect, that it had already been started (at least not if I don't check for the system dependent value of the old vec). So the machine hangs when it tries to install itself again with the already changed vector - it points to a piece of code that got removed on changing the rez. (or am I wrong in that ?) If I remove the acc before switching the resolutions, everything is ok, but there should be a way to do it more elegant. So my question is: What do other accessories, that change system vectors in that case ? -- Christian Siebert - me@dude.PCS.COM for the World, me@dude.PCS.DE for Europe
