That usually means that nobody knows the answer. It might also mean
that they just aren't interested in your question, but when you ask
technical things on a list that has a lot of people who are happy
to deal with tech-support issues, not getting a reply is a pretty
sure indication that nobody knows what your problem is.

I'm confused: do you mean that they give up straight away, or that
they run normally but then produce this error when you quit from
the program?
In any case, I'm afraid I can't help you with this problem. Everything
works fine for me, so it must be related to some interaction between
the Allegro code and your video drivers, which is impossible to debug
without having access to a machine that demonstrates the problem.
It would be great if you could find some time to debug this yourself.

Now I'm really confused: if you can't run programs due to the first
problem, how do you even get as far as this being another problem?
In any case, my above comments apply here as well.
