(Full screen mode)

This happens to me when Winamp is open. Winamp sometimes causing FoFix to  
lose its focus, then windows 7 says "zzz program isn't responding" and  
shuts it off when/if you push a key when FoFix is hung. It's 90% winamp,  
10% firefox for me (though carrier/funpidgin does this to me very VERY  
rarely when somebody IMs me).

About 80% of when FoFix hangs it maximizes to the upper-left corner and  
does nothing. It tries to switch to FoFix if you click on it on the start  
bar, the screen cycles, but it just brings up the desktop. I have to open  
task manager and kill it.

Not having a reliable way to reproduce this, I'm not sure if this is a  
FoFix problem or a Windows 7 problem. Hmm, wonder if it's related to  
Windows Aero (like diablo 2 needs desktop composition to be off to play it)

The solution is to only run FoFix, and make sure anything that's not  
important to FoFix (like glovepie) shut off.

My specs:
RT 7-lite'd (like vlite but for W7) customized Win7 64-bit
8 Gigs ddr3 1333 Ram
AM3 720 BE cpu stock (sometimes OC'd to 3.6)
FoFix 3.121 w/ GH3 theme
