If you are using Windows XP, this would be needed for best results.

- Select the program file (the .exe file) and open the properties window.
- Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
- Select the following options:
> "Run this program in compatibility mode for" "Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack #)"
> "Run in 256 colors"
> "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"
> "Disable visual themes"

I get a color problem without this while using the Alt-Tab shortcut to get out and it occurs when I go back to the program.

Some people would be ranting.gif , but not me.

wtf does Alt-Tab do anyway, to minimize you do ctrl-escape.
It's never given me an error.

Ever since upgrading to XP I've been getting random Windows errors, I think it's because of my virtual drives, but I'll see if this fixes it -_- I'll experiment with this more later.

That brings up the start menu for me. Alt+tab allows you to togle through the current window selected without a mouse.
