Reducing to windows
 

Guys, it's been about 4-5 months since I've been around or even played the game due to a rehab project. I've forgotten how or even if it's possible to pause the game and reduce it to windows, seems I recall it used to be possible but my memory fails me at the moment. Hitting the windows key doesn't work.

Thanks

Alt - Tab will minimise the game. It may take few seconds to happen depending on the speed of your system.

I always used the (-) key on the Num pad puts the game from x1 to pause then hit the window key to minimize the game.

Press Backspace; it pauses the game right away.

It may be a good idea to save game first before ALT+TAB because in my memory it crashed the game sometimes.
