Status: offline 		I clicked on windowed in the preferences.

Every time I alt-tab out to look at the manual, the game crashes when i try to resume. I just get a black box in the left upper 2/3 of the monitor.

Its pretty frustrating, because you can't (or at least, I can't) figure out the game without the manual, and there is no printed manual..................................

I'm running XP service pack 2, standard Dell computer, most software seems to work fine.

Status: offline 		Although it might do the same thing, do you have the same problem if you minimize and maximize the windows using the taskbar, rather than Alt-tab? I personally have not had the problem before, so I am afraid I am not much help....
