Crashes after minimizing 
			 
			
				I just installed the game today, and am able to load and play the game, but if I minimize the game using the windows key I am unable to bring the game back up.  The computer starts to run loudly, and the game no longer responds.  I downloaded the patch and the problem was not fixed.   
 
Any advise would really be appreciated. 
 
Thanks.

				Try updating your graphics drivers. 
 
Alt-tabbing during the game has worked on all computers we have tried on.

RE: Crashes after minimizing 
			 
			
				I updated the drivers this morning, and am still having the problem.  I have a Radeon x1300 which is on your list of verified drivers.  We run a lot of other graphics intense things with out issue. 
 
This is a very frustrating problem for me, because I often find myself needing to min the game for a few moments, and to have to restart the game every time makes it almost unplayable.  Are there any other solutions I could try? 
 
Thanks again!!

				Try to use alt-tab to get back into the game as sometimes clicking on Penumbra in the task bar doesn't work.

				Okay, I think I have it working.  Thank you so much for the very quick responses both times!
