Any ideas why my Red Alert 2 game will freeze when someone signs in, or I Alt-Tab and speak with someone on MSN? Also when I speak to someone on MSN while Ra2 is Alt-Tab it will seem to keep 'clicking out' of my covnersation window. Then when I try to go back into Ra2 its locked up. I never had this problem years ago, and I can't afford to close my MSN. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well, i have this problem, but only way to do it, is not to alt tab, i can alt tab during game and go t msn then come bk, bot not sitting in lobby on waiting form somebody to join my game. it is weird.

when i alt tab (while in lobby online) i go to msn once im done go click on ra2 in task bar then it plays music and i just see my desktop, so i have to ctrl alt delet then restart ra2 over again

i would like to see a soultion too

and its not frozen in a game or in lobby.
Maybe just press windows button???

I am afriad that is not the problem. I have PLENTY of RAM. Anyways, as long as I am not in the Game Lobby or Anything to deal with being connected to the server, it doesn't have any issues. (IE: If I am staring at the menu that has the Quickmatch/custom/account info...etc.) I have no issues with Alt-Tab. However when I connect to the server and put into a lobby etc. it starts to act up. BTW, Skirmishes also do not cause a problems.

Ok it isn't JUST MSN that freezes it. Whenever, I am connected to the online server and I Alt-Tab it does it. Any clues or ideas why?
