I followed the instructions on http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Alpha_Centauri#Restoring_Alt.2BTab_support but till it won't work.

What am i doing wrong?
This question / problem has been solved by mystikmind2000image
Even with Windows10 only about half my games i can alt tab....

Its always been the way of things, and i am surprised anyone ever actually expects it to work?

Almost like Daewoo car owners expecting their car not to break down!!! hahahahaha
Try Ctrl + Alt + Delete, then run Task Manager
Just starting to play this game, and found out I cannot even exit the game, to check email, or whatever, without it hosing up my laptop....graphics are all screwed up, and bordering on needing a reboot.

You cannot use Alt--Tab, and the Windows key doesn't work either. If you hit Ctl-Alt-Del and open Task Mgr, that's when the graphics go bonkers. Only if you exit the game from within the game, does Windows revert to normal. If you close it from the Task Mgr, the graphics stay bonkers.

There has to be a way to fix this right? Who the hell wants to exit a game, all the time, in this day and age, just to check their email, or whatever?!?

Yep.... and this is especially not the type of game you want to play at work since a quick key tap will never be enough to hide what you have been doing! lol
Also, and very much worse yet....ever since playing Alpha Centauri....NO GAME allows me to Windows key or Alt/Tab out!!!!!! Very odd and I'm stumped. At least the other games I'm playing allow me to hit Ctl/Alt/Del and then will let me go to Windows.

I emailed GoG about that, but haven't figured it out yet...anyone?

Yea, that's weird? Its like the other games learnt from Alpha Centauri how their supposed to fxxk up!

All i can suggest is try running a program called 'CC cleaner' - clean the registry.

I found it to be very reliable over the years.
