Not exactly a crash but just as bad

This could just be my wonky home made system. Game works just fine in windowed mode. In full screen mode, it works fine until I alt-tab away.

When I alt-tab back, explorer crashes, I get a windows dialogue asking if I want to send an error report. Screen returns to ootp, then explorer crashes, dialog asking whether I want to send error report, and so on. Eventually I end up at the desktop with ootp still running. But when i alt-tab back to the game it all starts over again.

Specs:
p4 3.4
Win XP pro
1 Gig RAM

I posted something similar, though not so serious: after alt-tab, I get a very laggy mouse (i.e. bad enough to be unplayable over any period of time). It can be fixed by setting to windowed/back to full screen, but it does appear that the game doesn't like alt-tab much.
