It's not just SE4. Other games also cause crashes when I use ALT-TAB.
Me too, actually.
The second monitor really helps, because switching programs dosen't cause any problems, just the ALT-TAB combo.
Another alternative for single monitor people like me now, is CTRL-ESC (or the windows key) which will force the taskbar above SE4 so you can click on another program.
And yet another is to have the taskbar autohide (right click on bar -> properties). Then it will leave the thin grey line in front of SE4 and a mouseover has the same effect as the previous.

If you're on the main screen you can use the minimize, but not if you've got a subwindow up...
