Is anyone familiar with this error? I have a program that runs
fullscreen and spawns a copy of some other program wanting the
display (in this case, MAME). Of course, this doesn't work as the
error message "Error setting cooperative level" is displayed along
with a register dump. Running in a window gets rid of this problem,
as does calling pygame.display.quit() before spawning the program and
creating a new display upon its termination, but neither of these
solutions are optimal in my view. Any ideas?
this sounds like a directx error, when one app goes for the fullscreen,
it doesn't share it with any other apps. if you are on windows, i'd
recommend this
