WinXP: Wont CTRL+ALT+DEL out of games?

[DaveNCheez]

not sure why, almost like its disabled some how.
Really sucks though, was playing AvP2 demo, got locked on the server list cause of firewall, couldnt get back to desktop to allow it permission.

Anyway, to force CTRL+ALT+DEL to minimize game, and return to desktop, like it did in Win2k

Dont enjoy reseting system if a game locks

Thanks
Dave

yeah it takes a little longer or you could try alt f4. ctrl alt del take a very long time if something strange happens and it uses up all your cpu cycles.

Try ctrl-shift-esc to bring up the task manager... then kill the misbehaving process.
