HEllo i have a problem.... Actually a big problem for me... Every time im alt tabing and then i go back in game i crash... You know what can i do?

[Heerlenking]

That happends sometimes to me too, maybe it's because you've haven't been in-game for a while, then the chat will trip and crash.

[Sandrea]

NO thats not the problem

[Sandrea]

Well nobody knows?

[ettans]

What OS (Operating System) are you using?

[Sandrea]

Windows XP service pack 3

Use the Windows key (which opens the start menu) to return to your desktop, rather than alt + tab.
This usually does not make you crash.

You could also before Alt Tabbing, hit ESC > MAP then do whatever, come back on and then hit ESC again. Worked for me, its a GTA bug, wish that SA:MP could use GTA v1.1 with the client!

I tryied what you guys said bit i still got the problem... GAME CRASHES

[Woet]

It depends on lots of things, I used to crash when I used alt+tabbed too, but it suddenly stopped.
You'll have to get used to it unfortunately.
