Steel Panthers bug ?

I used to have this happen ALL the time.
The manual says to 'alt'-'tab' release to return to desktop, then click back on the game. You can do this while the turn is running without losing anything or bumpin the turn counter.
Backing to desktop clears the buffers and short term memory. IIRC, it also clears out the cache memory (L1, L2). I got tired of doing that a lot since the chip I'm running has no L2 cache and I starting researching it and found that if I turn off cideamon.exe BEFORE starting a turn it helps a lot.
You do that by using the old 3 finger salute (alt-ctrl-del release) then selecting processes from the box that pops up. cidaemon.exe should be near the top of the list. Right click on it and select "shut down" then "yes"
I'm running SP in XP home. It might not work like that is some other windoze version.
One day I will figure out how to run MBT under WINE and toss windozes in the trash where it belongs.
