Technical Issue - Wien1938 - 08-18-2008

This seems to be common to HPS Campaigns programs but if the screensaver activates, the program window goes blank and cannot be restored to normal viewing.
Is there a way to fix this or is it just my pc?

From the Troubleshooting section of the user manual

When I’m playing a big scenario and the screen saver comes on, the map area is blank when I restore the screen and I have to restart the game to get the map back again. This also happens when the monitor power saver kicks in.
Some screen saver programs disable running DirectX applications such as this game. If you anticipate this happening, you should disable the screen saver before playing. Likewise, if you see this happening with your monitor power saver, then you should disable that before you start the scenario.

There are other ways it can happen as well, but what I do when it does is:

You still have access to the menu's..I just save the game, and run it again, and all is good.
