ofp randomly "alt tabs" out

Recommended Posts

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

AFAIK alt+esc does the same, took me a while to find that out... tounge_o.gif

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

i don't think so...its just weird because i can't think of anything i've changed that could have caused this...

What programs do you have running in the background? Do you routinely update your virus/spyware scanners and scan for problems?

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

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

Martin, a member of mine got it fixed by reinstalling the computer. It was a virus. sad_o.gif

EDIT: It was happening to him.

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.
