Future Boy!/video/saving

I've had someone tell me that they can't >SAVE from the command-line playing FB when video is playing--although it works great dropping down to the game's menu and saving from there. From the command-line, the game just pauses.

This leads me to believe that there's some sort of trouble with something (maybe the video drivers) not playing nicely with the file selector window popping up. Or something. I don't have a whole lot of information to diagnose his problem at this point, so I'm wondering if anyone else has seen a similar thing.

Personally I am not seeing any problem on two particular machines. One is a Windows XP with a Raedon 700 AGP (32 MB of memory). The other is a Windows 2000 with an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (64 MB of memory).

I can try it on two other machines later tonight. Both will still be Windows-based, however, so I am not really giving you too wide of a data-point spread here.

Thanks. If this is at all actually a bug, I'm relatively sure it's a Windows-only technical thing on some rare configuration(s).

Okay, I also cannot get this to reproduce on two other machines. One is a Windows XP with an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (256 MB of memory) and the other is a laptop machine running Windows 2000 with an S3 Graphics Savage/IX 1014 (8 MB of memory).

I would agree that if this is truly happening due to an interaction of the video drivers and the control that handles the file dialog box, that would be an interesting combination. Particularly if the videos are actually playing, which it sounds like they are.

Yeah, I can't get this to happen either on Windows XP with a nVidia Radeon 9600.
