Freeze when I switch to other window

andy_blah · 12 April 2007, 19:02

In the latest stable version of WinUAE (1.4.1) I experienced this problem: When I try to witch to another window or if I press the mittle button (the wheel) my PC freezes and I cannot do anything but to restart. Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks,

Have you tried pausing winuae before switching to another window?

WinUAE can take up a lot of cpu time, and if it's not paused it could lead you to think your pc has frozen.

Either bring up the gui before switching out, or in the winuae configuration under priority make sure pause emulation when inactive is ticked and see if that helps.

Not enough information.

Fullscreen? Windowed? Native or Picasso96? Both?
Logs?

Thanks Belgarath for your suggestion. Also this happened only in the native fullscreen mode.
