I toggle high intensity through an ASM call, so that wouldn't affect it.

They are two separate programs using separate code, so I don't see
how this could pose a problem. I've been swapping programs out for
years and never had a problem with doing it. The problem I was having
here was only because I still have the parent program visible beneath
the child's window, and the parent's interface uses high intensity.
But the problem's been solved (programmer too inatentive to code).
