Can someone tell me what this stands for? bs1dc. It comes up when I window a game to go to a walkthrough and I have a hard time getting the game to start again because this comes up.

What game is it? Some games simply do not work well or sometimes do not work at all with Alt/Tab or the Windows key.

Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars The Directors Cut-????

It is happening with most of my games. Brokwn Sword, Tamara the 13th, Phantasmat, nearly all. It just seems to have started doing this in December some time. Before then all worked perfectly.

What does the bs1dc stand for or what is its meaning? I have Window Pro 64 bit.

We still need to know which game is giving you this particular error. I'm assuming it's the one Winfrey mentioned. Is that the full text of the error? As I said, some games simply do not work with Alt/Tab or the Windows key to background. Have you played this particular game before and the Alt/Tab worked?

It looks as if you're playing b(roken) s(word) 1 (the) d(irector's) c(ut), i.e., bs1dc.

Gil.

Thanks for the replies. Appreciate it.

Is this a message that pops up?

I have WinXP and do not play in "a window". When I want to minimize the game and check a walk through, I hit either Alt-Tab or the Windows key and it minimizes the game. Then I either hit the same key combination or click the game in the bottom tab to maximize it again.

This works fine for Phantasmat. Have done that many many times while taking notes during beta.

Maybe BS1DC is telling you to use that??? Just a thought.
