Many thanks to all for your comments!!!
when 10 years ago I coded AAT 1.5, the real problem was that it was really unstable...
Nowaday I have restart my work from scratch, and first of all now I use the freeware utility Pssuspend by Sysinternals instead of trying to write myself a freeze routine, this means that now AAT (I understand that the name is not appropriate...) does no longer crash when restore the game.
if the moderator have not to object, I would like to post a link to download a light old freeware game who is hard to manipulate.
The game (whose name is kasbrik) does run in windowed mode, but for our experiment we have to try it in full screen mode, so you may note:
-) CE may not popup, it doesn't matter what option you wanna select...
-) full screeen is 640x480, this means f.e that CE does not fit in that resolution
-) if you try to use alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-shift-esc or any other, simple resulting in game crashing....
The goal of my (in)utility is:
-)suspending the game
-)do NOT change video mode
-)bring to front CE utilizing some tricks so CE will be usable even if we are in 640x480 video mode
-)resuming the game,etc.....
maybe in the week-end I'll be ready to propose a beta version if this does not violate the forum regoulament.
Many thanks.
