When i minimize the FS to use another program the screen is fine but when i press alt+enter the screen goes black. i can still haer the sound and the functions of the game are running but no picture. Why is it and how do i fix?

Update your videocard drivers. The problem you're having existed with old drivers. The newest drivers of both ATI and Nvidia do not have that problem anymore.

i don't have a video card.

What do you mean you don't have a videocard? You MUST have a videocard, even if it's integrated, or else where do you connect your monitor.

If this last is your problem, try and search for more up to date drivers of THAT video adapter. If no such a thing as newer driver is available... tough luck.

In the last unfortunate case, try and avoid minimize FS. Try running FS in windowed mode, if you need to access other OS functions often or at all. And for last, try and see if you can upgrade your PC with a real videocard.

Sorry, not much more can be done. :-/

it hasn't happened ever. i do that all the time for my screenshots. i need acess to other programs to save them.
