Running in Window mode locks up my PC

[Peatree]

Howdy all. First of all, LOVE the work you do on this project and love the game. Need some help if you could.

Running a Dell PC, Windows Vista Ultimate, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 3Ghz, 8G RAM, NVidia GeForce 8800 CTX. Also have appearance and customization set to "Windows Standard" w/ resolution @ 1920 x 1200 32 Bit. Monitor is a Dell 2407 Wide screen one. [You must be logged in to view images.

I have installed game and it runs great in windowed mode as long as I stay in the game. When ever I click "outside of game window" to research EQWiki or look something up on map, it freezes to the point I have to reset my PC. I cannot even alt-tab, ctrl alt delete to task manager, etc...it totally freezes.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to resolve this, or if you need any other data/info from me to help you. I have been living w/ this and happy, but am to the point where I am wondering if there is anything known I can do to fix. would love to play and research at the same time.
