I don't know how to fix it, but if you want one thing i'd try is binding /unloadgfx to something and hit that when it's frozen and see what happens.
10 50's To Date! Check out Titan Sentinel; it got my CoH presence synced online
it happens with vista alot. i think there is a fix for it, but what you have to do until someone pokes in with it, is hit your windows key then back to the game.
It's a Vista and Win 7 issue. The easiest way to deal with it is to tab past the window and pick it the second time around. Kind of like a combination lock where you have to go past the second number and completely around to it again.
A fix that might work for you though is to go into the game directory and right click on each of the .exe files there. Then click properties and choose the compatibility tab and check disable desktop composition and visual themes.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
Thanks for the advice all. I found tabbing past the game and then on around to it again to work. I then changed the Properties on any Application file in the CoH folder and now I can freely tab in and out of the game.
Thanks for the help.

Hi All,
I am running Vista 32-bit and I updated my GTS250 to the latest drivers (258.96) last night. I general the new drivers seem more stable than my old drivers (196.21). I have discovered one annoying feature. Everytime I Alt+Tab out of CoH and then Alt+Tab back in the Screen freezes. It basically looks like a screenshot. I figure the screen isn't updating anymore but is stuck displaying the last image it had when I Alt+Tabbed out. I can fix this by Alt+Tabbing out of CoH and then back in again. I have searched around and I don't see any settings that are different from before. Anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
Interesting side note, when the screen is frozen the game is definately running because I can hear sound effects and if I use the movement keys I will be standing in a different position when I get the screen working again.
This can be a bit annoying if I am frequently switching programs looking up data on the Wiki, checking a Mid's build, adjusting Ventrillo settings, etc. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Best regards,
