>but why is it that I can't ALT+TAB back to windows while TTd is running?
I'm sure other people will jump down my throat at this, but its happened on
most of the machines I've run TTDX on ....
TTDX hogs the graphics card and soundcard, so if you ALT/TAB Windows tries
to regain control.  Windows is a bit of a bully and so Tycoon crumbles.
I've had many probs when I've ALT/TABed - even if i've pressed the Win95 key
by accident.

So, I reckon you can't.  (*stands back and waits to be flamed....*)
