crash: returning from alt tab

from GalCiv2 Forums
the game consitantly crashes when you try to return to it after alt-tabbing to the desktop (in full screen mode)!
This does NOT happen when in the main menu (ever), but almost always happens when within an actual game.

Has their been a fix to this problem, because everytime I Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc out of the game and try to get back in, it doesn't show anything, errors, and then crashes.

System:

Intel P4 3.0E
Win 2000 Server
Creative Labs Live 5.0
1 GB Ram
Radeon X850 Pro SE

Just run it windowed but at your full desktop resolution. It will still look full screen, but will alt+tab without problems.

Much appreciated Vinraith. The game ALT-TABs fine now.

Is there anyway of setting it so that ALT-ESC minimizes the game completely? Thanks.
