You should check what processes are running from the the task manager. I had that issue sometime ago and noticed that for ex with the new Live Messenger there came wlcomm.exe (allows Messenger to be run simultaneously from several locations) that sometimes did exactly that. There were some others too but can't remember them. I did start a thread on the issue if you bother to search for it. And turn you're windows automatic update off. I tried to turn it on to get the latest tuesday-updates to xp and hey hey, the old issues came back: about 10 minutes playing the game stuttered like hell, checked the process list and there it was, the wuaultc.exe doing it's update checks. It is really annoying that the Automatic Update thinks that the pc is idling when it is not running exclusively Windows softwares..

Good comments Kennett

Also check if you don't have any special events "to do" for you pc.. Like routine checks.

That's why I have gamebooster to thake care of that, it stops background programs and cleans your ram with one click.

Peter, I use Game Booster regularly, and never have had any problems.

Peter · Aug 18, 2009

Never had any problems with gamebooster, I use it with XP, Vista and Win7

Grégory Cogotti · Aug 18, 2009

No problem for me too with my Antivirus (Antivir). I run it on Windows 7.

So, about the new steam update, i can say that don't correct the crash minidump who occur sometime when you select a "custom" car in the show room. But the crash appeared before i install game booster, and i can't say if this program can help for this problem.

Since the patch I can't get back into the game if I alt-tab out of it. Worked fine before the patch (steam version).

Christian Lyngbye · Aug 20, 2009

Alt-tab has never worked for me (windows XP). I just run it windowed.

I still use XP also. Dunno whats up with it. Makes it a pain when I need to go back into steam and keep the game running. As mentioned before it worked before the new patch.

I've just started getting virus warnings with the latest version of Gamebooster, so I've gone back to the previous version and ignore the update messages.
My anti-virus programme is CA.

Péter Bártfai · Aug 20, 2009

Alt-tab works fine for me, never had a problem with it and I have XP Home on my PC.

Michael Herrmann · Aug 20, 2009

The problem is know by IObit, and they have just released a new version (Game booster 1.21), normally free of virus.

I've had this in Windows 7, try using Alt-Tab to highlight the Race07 program and hold Alt and see if the game returns.

Kennett Ylitalo · Aug 20, 2009

I get that too but the problem solves when i go back to windows and for ex. start the soundmixer and close it. After that the game comes back with alt-tab normally. Sometimes i use the task manager and close it to get the GTR somehow "activated"..
