[Coco] Virtual Color Computer 3 Emulator (VCC)

[Robert Gault]

It seems that you have let VCC run a program that takes a long time to complete, long enough for your screen saver to activate. In effect, VCC no longer has control of video and does not know how to recover.In short, this looks like a VCC bug.
I'd suggest that you turn off the PC screen saver if you have to leave VCC running for an extended length of time to see if tha prevents crashing.

When I installed VCC Norton removed or quarantined a program.
VCC is not in full screen format.
I am not trying to BREAK out of a program.

What is running when VCC crashes? Is it always the same type of program,
what language, graphic, or something else?Is VCC in full screen format (by
using F11) and are you switching between VCC and other Windows programs? Are
you trying to BREAK out of a program?
