Black Screen on Exit

First time out of the vault
Hello,

I've been going back through some of my older games, and replaying them. I thought I would give FOT another try, but I've run into a problem.

The game plays fine, but when I exit the game, I get a black screen. The game's cursor is there, but I can't do anything to get out of it.
Alt-F4, Alt-Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del, all of the shutdown commands do not work.

The first time I tried it, the only way I found to get out of the black screen was to go into hibernation mode (via the hibernate button on my keyboard). However, when it tried to hibernate, the windows screen came up with "Preparing to Standby". It then dumped me to the desktop, with a balloon message about not having enough -something- to perform the operation. The onyl way to get it into hibernation mode, once it has done this, is to restart the computer.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? I don't really want to play FOT anymore until it is sorted!

My Specs:

XFX 7600GT XXX Edition Graphics
Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU
2gb RAM
Onboard sound
Latest version of FOT
 
Well, it seems that Alt-F4 when on the main screen exits the game nicely. I don't know yet if it does anything to the save games or config settings, but I don't think forcing the computer to restart would help that either.

So I suppose it's a workaround.
