Worked in Win7 Beta but not in Release

sinsi,

I don't have it set it to require a password on resume, so that's not the problem.  SendMessage returns 0 and GetLastError after SendMessage returns 0.  I'll have to dig into it some more. I think I remember reading something about changes being made to how the Desktop works.

It's good to know I haven't completely lost my faculties.  :bg

Thanks for your help.

Well, it's working now.

I went into Screensaver Settings and changed from Photos to Windows Live Photo Gallery.  I tried my program and it worked!  I then changed it back to Photos and it worked.  Apparently something had gotten messed up.  God computers can drive you nuts sometimes.  Geez!  ::)

Well, we had a good discussion about x64 stack alignment anyway.

lol - fricken gremlin
now, you have to go back and re-trace everything (start with the original code) until you find out what was messed up
i hate it when something is fixed and i don't know the reason
i would rather it be broken again

I'm not going to worry about it, the code works, the problem was with Windows. I'm done with it.

I just assumed since the screensaver was working, with the timeout value, all was OK with it. Not so.

Yeah, I hate it too.  But I'm going to chalk this one up to a Windows glitch.


Oh well, it was a good discussion on x64 stack alignment, and I learned something new about that.
Note: I corrected the code in the first post for correct alignment.
