i have W98se and sometimes it alt-tabs out of the game for antivirus and kind(mostly i put all unnesesary thing off, but not always so...) and cause sometimes when i need to do something for my parents it takes pretty long and when i return still black screen. i then just use alt-tab and im back playing divine divinity. ow, i can get the bar with start and wich programs are running and so(normally the bar at the bottom of your screen) but when i click on something i just opens the program but my screen stays black.
