I get that message also but it has never affected the program use. The other message I get when playing the Battle Phlinx auto is "Unknown Stagger State".   :o

Again though, the auto still works but like Gator I wonder what it means.  ???

I was getting the invalid context handle in Mahjong Safari auto, but since the update it is not there.  Maybe they are onto something and will fix the others.

I do just ignore it but was just curious what it meant.

What is an "Invalid device context(DC) handle?  Is there a way to fix it ourselves?  My programs still play. thanks

Was wondering that several of mine have that but they work fine

You'll have to wait for an update

Thanks!  I've been in touch with Badge Help and it's being worked on.  An update should be out in a few days (according to their email).
