Alt-Tab = Crash
« on: March 29, 2006, 12:38:41 PM »
Another vexing problem:

Whenever I alt-tab to the desktop from AH, I get a blue screen crash.  Without fail and without exception.  

Any ideas as to how to stop this?

I have Windows XP on a Dell XPS. 2 g RAM.

Same setup with all new ForceWare drivers and I can Alt-Tab 'till my head explodes.

I will update the drivers tonight.

Incidentally, do you guys have the Dell XPS with the same soundcard?  Have mic problems?

I had to go to a USB connection for a headset because I just can't get the mic to pick up diddly through the soundcard.

Updated drivers did the trick.  Thanks, Skuzzy!
