    I've been experiencing this error for a while now and didn't pay it much attention as it's not a show-stopper. But as it's not being noticed/fixed I thought I'd make a post about it.

    Any of the more recent trainers will do a call home to verify the trainer and to retrieve a random trainer advertisement ( for instance, new at cheathappens: grimrock trainer ).

    If I alt-tab to any other window, or make the trainer lose focus while it's calling home... it will crash.
    As a developer, this looks to me like your requesting focus to an object while the owner-window does not have focus, in languages like delphi/c++(older .net framework or non .net ) this would result in an error. So I'm guessing that is what's going on.

    To illustrate, I made a video and posted it on youtube,

    This is what you see me doing:
    - I open the Risen 2 trainer and let the window lose focus right away
    - Trainer crash

    - I open the Risen 2 trainer again and wait for the advertisements to load
    - No crash

    - I open the stronghold 3 trainer and wait for the advertisements to load
    - No crash

    - I open the stronghold 3 trainer again, and let the window lose focus right away
    - trainer crash

    - I open the Supreme Commander 2 trainer ( older trainer-framework) and let it lose focus right away
    - no crash

    Sounds to me like a simple bug in your base-trainer framework, and I would love a fix. (win7 sp1 ult. 64bit )
    Feel free to contact me for more details

    Just give it a couple of secs before doing anything. Problem solved.
