ALT-TAB when PBEM Question

[dragoon19]

My system stalls when I try to exit to desktop top and e-mail my move. :confused:
I have install v. 1.02 and I am using win98.

Anything to be done about it or do I have to wait for a new patch?

Does this only happen during PBEM games or also with regular games, and can you be a bit more specific as to what happens exactly, i.e. the exact number of steps required to create the problem you are having.

Edit: I think I may have misunderstood your initial post. On Windows9x/ME I believe the ALT-TAB may not work, DirectX locks it for some reason but not for windows2000/XP, try using the ESC key instead.

Thanks,
Hubert

well the problem seem to have corrected it self now it only stalled sometimes, in any case the esc works fine. Thanks.

What I did more specifically was to take my turn in PBEM and click done. save the turn, and then the Alt-tab menu pops up. Pressing alt-tab led to the occational stall. The music played on and the screen was still on SC.

OK I'll make a note of that and add in a reference to use the "ESC" key as well.
