[no bug]Demo under vmware

[sv161]

Hi to all developers.
I'm using irrlicht v1.7.1 for my project. Our QA have found bug: There is strange behavior. In fullscreen after alt+tab and back, game can't render anything (WinXP SP3, SP2 - no matter). However i couldn't reproduce this.
Then I tested the game under vmware 7.1.4 build-385536 + WinXP SP3, SP2 - no matter and saw this bug.
Problems are using both dx8 and dx9 driver.
I tried Demo from v1.7.1 in fullscreen and with dx9 driver. I've noticed, that there is missing texture on the stairs. And, attention, after alt+tab it works - texture appears!
Are these problems same? Any help will be great.

If I replace code of scene rendering with simple draw2DRectangleOutline - it works. If I draw something textured - sad.

I would say virtualized environments are not meant yet to support video games. I would say it's not irrlicht fault but I am not knowledgeable in that area.

I didn't even think VMware supported 3d acceleration. There must be some king of emulation going on here as you can't allow clients to access the video card directly.

I have solved this bug. Long story, but I want say that there was problem with my code and it was related with WM_ACTIVATE message. Thanks for fast answers.
