I am running WinME and visual studios 6.0. When I leave my computer for a period of time and it goes into powersave mode, and then I revive it with the push of the mouse a number 7 appears wherever the cursor was. This is not that big of a deal, but the first few times it happend I had a line of code selected and when I went to compile it I got a nasty surprise. I have done some testing and found that my cursor does not have to be within the VS6.0 window, it can be on anywindow from any application. Has anyone else experienced something similar? PS: Does anyone know what happend to www.xgames3d.com ? That was another forum I really liked, but it seems to have vanished.

About the powersave thing, just make sure that everything is set to none. ie: that it''s actually disabled. It tends to cause computers to crash or behave in weird ways... Just put a simple screen saver. That should solve your problem.
