Galagros, can you at least get back to the desktop using Ctrl+Alt+Escape, and *then* exit the game via Ctrl+Alt+Delete? (I've had to do that a couple times before, and it usually works.)

Alexios - my new card is a BIOSTAR GEFORCE 7300GS 512MB PCIE
Martok - I never tried CTRL+ALT+ESC, but I will try it when I play next, which may be tonight, but probably not until tomorrow morning. Yay for having no work or college on fridays and sundays!
Thanks for all of the responses guys.

Re: unable to exit game
I tried using CTRL+ALT+ESC this time and nothing happened. So then I tried CTRL+ALT+DEL and nothing happened. When I pressed the windows key my cursor showed up and I could move it around, but still do nothing. I had to turn off my computer manually again.

Re: unable to exit game
If you cannot open the Task-Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL you have a serious problem.
I know for a fact that this does work with MTW, because while modding I often come across crashes and the only way to exit the game then is to call up the TM and kill the MTW process.
CTRL-Tab should also bring you to the desktop, whether from the campmap or from battle or map editor doesn't matter.
It could be a video driver issue as others have indicated.

Re: unable to exit game
Use CTRL+ALT+DEL before the game crashes or ALT+TAB to the desktop and then use it. Don't press QUIT in the MTW menu because that causes the freeze from which you may not be able to recover.Originally Posted by Galagros

...good idea. I didn't even think about doing that.

Re: unable to exit game
Does the Num lock light go on/off when you press the button? If it doesn't, that's usually a clear sign that no amount of CTRL+ALT+DEL type things will work and a reset is required.

Re: unable to exit game
Does CTRL+ALT+DEL ever work, even when the game is not running?
Try CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, this is the true key combination for the windows task manager. CTRL+ALT+DEL is for Windows Security (note: if you're using the welcome screen you won't see windows security only task manager).
The fact that the windows key does force the desktop to appear is worrying. It may be that CTRL+ALT+DEL is opening the task manager window in the background, hitting the windows key afterwards may show you the desktop and the task manager.
I think the cause may be your graphics card and it's newer drivers. There may not be alot you can do about this. You can try older drivers if you wish.
