Continue playing while active in other windows

Is it in some way possible to let the game continue while I am active in another window of the os?

So can I let the CPU play for me while I chat a bit on msn...
Cause sofar I noticed when exiting the nba live window it stops the game..

Thanks in advanced

I dont think thats possible, you can get the CPU to play for you by putting your conroller into the middle in the controller screen

Yes you can, but I don't think the game would keep going.

I believe it stays frozen when you open another window.

Whenever u want you cant freeze the game by using windows key.
But the game will not continu until u got a doublescreen graphic-card.

correct......the graphics Ram gets to process the windows environment while you switch back to your OS.....these makes the game freeze....once you returned you can have the game running again......

If I minimize the game, when I get back into it the computer restarts :evil:

I don't have that particular problem with NBA, but with other games I do.

Yeh at first I thought my computer was overheating, but then by process of elimination, i figured that was the problem. Very annoying

Had that ones too, try decreasing your video settings

My question is still unawnserd... isn't there a program wich can simulate a second screen or somethin...

Not unless you set up dual monitor

hmmm, I play nbal on my laptop, so it might be possible to connect it to my ctr and then just disconnect the screen when the game started, are there programs for that? to setup nbal in one window and ie internet explore in the other?

There is something called thrueview or something like that, who multiply the nbr of desktop activ.

Im not sure if setting up a CRT would work, it just shows what the lapotop screen is showing but its worth a try
