Crash when Alt-Tabbing from WorldEdit to War3

I posted this in the Blizz forums, but havent been able to get a solution:

When Alt-tabbing from War3 to WorldEdit sometimes I will get an error, and WorldEdit will crash. Happens when I go from WorldEdit to War3 too, WorldEdit crashes, but War3 stays alive. Its a real pain since right now I am messing with triggers, and want to do a lot of program switching.

The error message is something along the lines of 'The instruction at (hex number) referenced memory at (hex number). The memory could not be "read". Press OK to terminate program.' I am running Win2k. Any help with this problem would be great.

Never happened to me either. On any of my machines, but if worse comes to worse you might try reloading.

I replied to your post on bnet but I'll post it here again for the wc3campaigns crowd.

I also have the same problem. I run win2k patched to SP3 with all the updates. Never had a problem with this before until this latest patch. Instead of an illegal operation like you, I get the BSOD and the computer reboots automatically. Never figured out a way around it. It doesn't happen all the time, just some of the time.

I have a windows XP and windows 98 SE, so maybe thats why nothing bad ever happened to me.

I get BSOD too if I am running War3 in Direct3D mode, OpenGL gives me the memory cant be read error. Either way its a crash :(
