Bless or mess…?

November/17 2009 by Ralf

After messing around with certain NVidia drivers for the Quadro FX5800-G I encountered several times the issue (not a Ventuz issue) that Fullscreen-Applications (like Ventuz) are unable to reset the D3D device to leave the Fullscreen and go back to Windowed mode. In Ventuz you usually press Alt-Enter to switch between this modes.

If the driver decides to freeze you and the application in the Fullscreen mode – you can’t find a way to get back to life – the last chance is to push the hardware reset button and give Windows (plus NVidia) another try…

The only way is to kill the “exclusive” fullscreen application – but how if you can’t access the Task Manager?

Since Ventuz R5.18_p1 version we implemented a “feature” to solve such cases:

Left-Ctrl  +  Left-Shift  +  Left-Alt  +  K  +  V

(K+V = Kill Ventuz)

By pressing all these keys simultaneously you will kill Ventuz! Without warning! No data or scenes are saved! Instant Death! So use it carefully!
