Running DF2 Minimized

[jetdf2]

1. I would like to ask if running df2 minimized helps in stablizing a df2 game from crashing when hosting games. I was hosting df2 in win98 which could run 3 days unattended then got a new puter with win xp pro. The game began to crash often and became less stable and i dont know why. I ran minimized and it seems to have allow the game to continue a lot longer with no interuptions. So does hosting the game minimized really help or am i just being lucky?
I would also appreciate any other tips or references you might have to make hosting as successful as possible for both myself as host and for the players.
thank you ...jet

Try setting it to windowed mode and minimized. That seems to give the best results.
