Minimize or pause menu crashes gta :(

[ғαιιοцт]

every time I minimize gta of go to the pause menu to look on the map, my gta gets stuck -_-
first I can't move my mouse anymore (no clicking doesn't make it work)
and when I go to the pause menu again or minimize again to make it work.. gta gets totally stuck and I need to reboot my pc
I can't even use ctrl+alt+del or alt+F4
does anybody know how I can fix this?

please Don't reply:
- than don't minimize:
I really need to minimize gta when working on my mode.. when i need to test new things
you should know how annoying it can be if almost every time your gta crashes


I really need to get this fixed :(

i do, i used windowed mode for GTAU-MP (crashes on minimizing)

[ғαιιοцт]

windowed mode uses d3d9.dll I think and than I can't start sa-mp any more

To me that only happens when I go back ingame and if I press ESC before the screen (menu) apears.

for me it happens almost always

Aww man that would suck
Its got vista and im able to pause, minimize and everything wihout crashs. Although if i minimize without pressing the esc key first, theres a 90% chance that when i maximize it next it will crash.
So just a tip, b4 u minimize hit esc
Hope this helps, sorry i dont know more

Just try run in compatility mode for win xp if u hav vista
that works for me
