Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / February 2006VPC display freezes on 2nd display upon shifting focus from primary display
Running OSX 10.3.9 on a dual 1.8Ghz G5, VPC 7.0.2. I have VPC in full screen mode on my second display. After I work on the primary display, especially if I do any text input, and then click on the VPC display, the VPC display sometimes freezes even though the mouse pointer stays active and the action the click initiated is actually occuring. To get the display to update, I must click again in the primary display before I can go back to working on the second display. Sometimes at that point, when I click on the second display it freezes again and I must click on the primary once more. This usually sets things right, but it has been necessary on occasion to repeat this process several times before I can work on the second display. Primary is a NEC VGA 17" CRT running through the DVI port with an adapter. Secondary is a Viewsonic DVI 20.1" LCD through the ADC port with an adapter. VPC is the only application showing this behavior on the second display. Anyone else seen this? Any one know how to stop it? It's driving me nuts when I'm switching back and forth from VPC and Mac applications. Thanks, condimentman I've seen this happen when moving from the primary mac monitor to the vpc monitor, and attempting to double click in vpc without first clickiing over to vpc. never found a resolution, but learned to single click over to vpc on second monitor after many freezes. > Running OSX 10.3.9 on a dual 1.8Ghz G5, VPC 7.0.2.

Kinda sad that someone had to figure that out.... ;-) condimentman Thanks, tonza That's the simplest way I have heard yet to get it to "quit it!"
