Program Switching

I've a CD game from 1996, running on Vista Home Prem.. The game runs fine,
but I can not ALT-TAB between the game and any other program running. I can
still Cntl+ALT+Del to work around this, but once I close out of the Task
Manager, it goes back to the game. Is there any way to set the aplication
properties to allow program switching?

Unlikely because the old game probably has to run at a lower screen
resolution
