Cant minimize game..?

Recommended Posts

Well, thought about posting this in troubleshooting, but the description (Harwareproblems and SERIOUS bugs) made me change my mind.

So, have anyone here had the problem that you can't minimize your game by pressing alt+tab? It has worked perfectly since I first installed the game (february 2002), but now it won't work. I have OFP:Res 1.91. I can tell you that this is just sooooo annoying, especially when you are using the missioneditor and gets some problems, and quickly want's to minimize, log in to the forum and check if somebody had the problem before, or otherwise start a new topic.

Often I can't ALT+Tab either, the windows mouse arrow simply pops up, and yes I use identical resolutions, so to get back to my desktop I press windows+L which goes back to a "windows is now locked" click ok and you're back at your desktop, 2 seconds work smile_o.gif
