I have this problem regarding Red Alert 2 when it comes to multitasking. It's running fine as long as you don't alt-tab or press the windows-button. Once the game gets minimized, there's no going back. Once the game gets maximized again, the image disappears while the game is still running.
I suppose this is an ongoing issue when it comes to old ddraw games. In Tiberian Sun however, there is a launcher called TSLauncher that fixes most of that games compatibility issues on modern systems. If I enter the settings menu in TSLauncher, I can freely choose a different renderer (in this case DxWnd, Windowed Mode and No window border to overcome the alt-tab issues.)
I tried to use various ddraw wrappers for RA2, including aqrit ddraw and the DxWnd application without any luck. I am nowhere near a solution to this alt-tabbing issue as of yet, and I have almost given up getting this game working without glitches while alt-tabbing and such.
Do any of you have a solution to this issue, and any idea how to fix this?
