Do you run VA full-screen, or in a window?

If full-screen, does your antivirus/malware software have a 'game mode' 
where it
accomodates apps that are running full-screen... and if so does it treat 
VA that way?

If you run VA in a window, does the Windows stuff happening outwith the 
VA window also
go all-white, or does it still work?

After you've had one of these VA shutdown problems, if you look back in 
the eventlogs,
is there nothing indicated?

Are your graphics card drivers uptodate?   Or have they been updated 
recently and the
problem only just started?
