Q about D3D version 5.1.2600.29


Recommended Posts

OK I just got this a little while ago to fix some stuff in GTA3 and I saw this,

(Q306676)The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running

If the 3D Flowerbox, 3D Flying Objects, 3D Pipes, 3D Text, or another Direct3D-based screen saver is running in Windows XP, the computer may be unable to enter standby or hibernation by using the timer in Power Management properties.

Windows XP supports the ability to turn off the monitor or hard disks by using the Power Management timer with OpenGL (3D) screen savers running.

This issue is not video adapter-dependent.

That sounds scary should I not install it? I use standby all the time, Will I not be able to use it againe?
