Xsyon game lock up making windows 7 unresponsive

When I use Alt+tab to check the web more than once Xsyon will minimize and will not open again. Ending the process in task manager closes Xsyon. Any programs I attempt to open afterward will start running but will not display on the screen.

Only Xsyon does this when alt+tabing.

A restart solves the problem. I am wondering if any one else has encountered this

Just for feedback purposes...

I run
win7 64bit, with a dual screen setup. I run Xsyon on the primary display and can alt-tab without problems multiple times. I am running windowed mode.

I get this same crash on windows 7 running a single display. The game just doesn't like alt-tabbing very much. I'll give windowed mode a go and see how I get on. I've just had like my tenth crash while trying to run around the lake haha!

Update - still getting the crash in windows mode. Its basically because I only have 2gig of ram and the memory is filling up to the brim.

My vital statistics are:

Windows 7 32 bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz
2 GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Windows Experience Index 5.5 (driven by my ram)

I'll upgrade with some more ram soon and see how I get on.

I'm running Win 7 64
4 gig ram
Nvidia 460 OC
Intel i5

and don't have any of the described problems if that helps anyone. Perhaps its a ram issue. Your 8800GT should be fine as should the Nvidia 260. Maybe with future optimisation of code the 2gig may be enough.

You remembered to count the rams on the graphic card as well, right ;) they are used as well as your physical RAM.

No game consumes more than 1,8gb ram.. I've never seen one and Xsyon doesn't hit 1,8gb ram, not even remotely, not even after several hours of gameplay :). (Imo I thought 3gb RAM was the lowest you could use with W7?)
