Minimizing game screen

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok this is probably the simplest question of the week, but here goes: While playing the game, what keyboard keys do i hit to minimize the screen and get me to my windows screen?

If I'm playing and someone else needs to check email or something i dont want to have to exit the game. it seems to take forever to load. (thats probably a whole other topic).

Well I don't know the keyboard button but I have read that if you run the game in windowed mode it shouldn't be as painful to minimize.

Alt-Tab and yeah, you've going to want to run it in Windowed mode if you want to flip back and forth.

You might want to be carefull with changing from fullscreen game to the windows desktop. I had some problems with it in DA v1.5x. My game was often crashing when I tried that context switch. I'm now using 1.6beta and that seems to be solved.

I have no idea how to change that, I just click on the Galciv icon and the game starts.

And i don't WANT to flip back and forth its just these other people and their skewed proiorities.

In the video options screen, just uncheck the Fullscreen option. The next time you run the game it will be in windowed mode.
