Hi GOGers,

Im playing Dungeon Lords and when i Alt-Tab to look up a game guide on the internet, when i try to re-enter the game, it locks up and shows a black screen. I use Alt-Tab on many other games and did not have this problem. I dont want to exit the game everytime i want to look up help on the internet. If you know how i can get the Alt-Tab to work properly please let me know. Thanks.

From what I see here, the game doesn't support Alt-tab:

Link

"Does Dungeon Lords support task switching (Alt-Tab)?
Dungeon Lords does not support task switching when running in full screen mode. If you wish to run in windowed mode, you may start the game with the parameter “-gdi” and you will be able to switch between applications. Be aware that mouselook will not function in windowed mode though, and you will need to re-map the view rotation to the keyboard."

Edit: According to this link, though, you can actually alt-tab with no problems in Dungeon Lords MMXII.
