Tabbing out problem

[STEELE]

Every other time I try to alt-tab out or windows key to put on music or ect. during climbout,
AH blinks off for a sec., then comes back up with the cursor locked and my regular Windows cursor on the screen, and the keyboard is frozen (cant use autoclimb or text) for about 5 minutes. This is happening about half the time, the other half it works normally.

This has happened to me before as well. The solution (for me) is bizarre. If you repeatedly press alt + tab, alt + tab, alt +tab, AH will eventually minimize. Once you maximize it again, your mouse and keyboard should work normally.

I tried the repeating alt-tab alt-tab thing, still didn't work most of the time, tonight I logged in, then clicked "Web Page Help", AH blinked for a sec, then same thing happened, regular desktop cursor appeared on screen, and the AH cursor was frozen in place, all keyboard keys frozen.     It's the worst bug I have ever experienced!

What specs does your system run?  This sounds like a low resources problem rather than a bug with AH

It has happened to me as well.

My solution:  move the invisible mouse to the taskbar area, and left-click on where you think AH or another program is listed.  It will either resume AH or switch windows to the other program you clicked on.
