I find that pausing the game with the Escape key before alt+tabbing usually works.

Yeah, the Gamebryo/NetImmerse engine never played along well with alt+tab.

Another thing you could do is alt tab, then dont click or move the mouse or anything, just ctrl alt del to task manager, and minimize it and voila the mouse moves and no crashes!

Use ctrl+shift+esc. The reason why alt+tab crashes is because tab is already bound to a main function.

if your alt-tabbing to view a web browser, Steam has its own web browser built into it. Press shift + tab and it will bring up the steam overlay, at the bottom of the overlay you will see "Web Browser" click on this and and it will open a tabable web browser that can be accessed fairly reliably in game. :D

I alt+tab all the time and have never had a crash. Actually other than the crappy frame rate this game has been very stable for me.

Same for me. Win 7 64-bit here.
