Morrowind GotY and Windows 7

[sansapple]

I have installed Morrowind (GotY version, with the expansions) on my laptop, which has Windows 7 as it's OS.
While the game is open, I am unable to minimize, or in the event that I am running windowed, move my cursor off the window in any way.
Is there a way to fix this?

I've actually never yet had the pleasure of playing Morrowind, and am sure that it will be a much more pleasant experience if I'm able to retain the use of the rest of my computer while the game is running.


Thanks very much.

Pretty old game, not surprising is has issues on Win 7. Check this support link http://forums.bethsoft.com/?showtopic=781497

I've discovered that by adding it as a non-steam game, and then running it through Steam, I'm able to do non-game things. So there is that, if anyone else is curious.

Incidentally, it does randomly crash out, but not nearly as frequently as one my imagine.
