.pablo. 0 Posted April 9, 2005 this has happened to me at least 5-10 times now, so it seems to be something consistant. when i've been playing ofp for about 5-10 minutes the game will start to randomly "alt tab" itself out; i have the quotation marks because i'm obviously not alt tabbing it, but it is acting as if i had. it has happened in both sp and mp, and there doesn't seem to be any correlation between it alt tabbing and me pressing any key (although i could be wrong). this has never happened to me before, and its pretty weird. i've also searched for my problem and haven't been able to find anything remotely like it. here are my comp's stats: win2k p3 1ghz 512mb ram 128mb geforce4 ti4200 plenty of hd space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted April 9, 2005 AFAIK alt+esc does the same, took me a while to find that out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.pablo. 0 Posted April 9, 2005 my problem is that is does it even when my hand is nowhere near the esc or tab button; usually, im just running around or checking my map when all of a sudden it alt tabs out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.pablo. 0 Posted April 9, 2005 i don't think so...its just weird because i can't think of anything i've changed that could have caused this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted April 11, 2005 What programs do you have running in the background? Do you routinely update your virus/spyware scanners and scan for problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.pablo. 0 Posted April 11, 2005 i remember it happening even when i had nothing running, but i admit that i haven't checked for spy/adware recently. i'll run adaware and see if i can reproduce the problem afterwards. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheres my rabbit ? 10 Posted April 12, 2005 holding the shift (run button) alt tabs you out on windows xp ,but it also gives you an annoying popup box about sticky keys..so guess its not that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rommel 2 Posted April 12, 2005 Martin, a member of mine got it fixed by reinstalling the computer. It was a virus. EDIT: It was happening to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted April 13, 2005 Its happing to me aswell. And becuase my comp sucks I cant get back into flashpoint I get the little black box of death. I just virus checked it and It still happing  .Pablo-Are you running FDF mod Mine didnt start happing till I got that installed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.pablo. 0 Posted April 15, 2005 i have FDF mod installed, but I've not been running it when the game has been alt-tabbing, so I don't see how any of their files could be conflicting with OFP's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted April 15, 2005 well I solved the problem, Just run a good Virus scanner. I used Ad-Aweare and the problem stopped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
