Rats! That bug is really starting to get annoying. It gets squashed and keeps coming back.

I had a similar problem alt-tabbing before starting the game. Wanted to disable the second monitor and remove ObjectDock before playing. After coming back into the game it was frozen. But at least I could still alt-tab back out again and Ctrl-Alt-Del instead of the old annoying freeze the whole system bug.

I'd blame the issue on whoever makes ObjectDock...

Too late now. I've already taken them both back to the store. :)

Got another log for a alt-tab crash:

As I recall, we had the same bug during the beta of GC2, and it took so long to fix that I switched to always playing in windowed mode.  As I do to this very day :P
