unable to run fs2 open in windowed mode
Just like it says, i submitted this to bugzilla, but i want you to know whats happening.

When i start up a game, it crashes when it tries to lock the backbuffer on startup when im stepping though.  it flat out locks when just running it.

It doesn't matter if this is a debug build, the resolution or the depth, it still crashes if windowed.  Its also happening with a clean fs2_open build

I had the same problem with DX8, it was trying to write the whole 1280x1024 desktop to a 1024x768 size buffer.

I simply turned it off in windowed mode.
