That is odd... I'm running:

Windows XP Pro (fully patched)
Latest Direct X (9.x)
Intel 1.8g p4
512 MB ram
120 gb HDD
SB compatible
GeForce 4 vid card.

I can walk away from the game and let it go to screen saver, I can three-finger it and put it into screen saver, and it always comes back to me. The ONLY thing it does not like, is when working in the trade screen, if it is thinking and I lose focus it does not refresh immediately upon return (I have to wait a long while).

Now, if my dad does any of the above on his machine (XP Home fully patched, DX9, Intel 1.8g P4 512 ram 80 gb HDD, SB sound, GeForceMX I think) it will always lock up and never refresh...

So maybe this problem is related to the video cards and not the O/S?
