Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\My Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty

Edit the file 'game.ini' in wordpad / notepad and change 'setf ~windowed 0' from '0' to '1', save the changes and fire KB up.

As a followup to the above, my problems may also have been due to overheating, which I've now also attended to. Worth trying the above, though, if you've got hard lockups.

As an aside, when I tried to revert back to full screen, it didn't seem to want to do it by simply reversing the above change, and I had to delete the whole Kings Bounty settings folder (backup up saves, of course!).
