Title: Can't "alt-tab" out to my desktop.
Post by: daddog on March 20, 2001, 01:16:00 PM

Used to be able to, but can't anymore. Is there a setting in Win98 that I have to play with?

Thanks in advance.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Need more details.

Start with OS, then hardware details.  Also, what DX version and driver versions?

When did happen?  What changed?

Win98 SE
PIII 450
MS-6163 MSI Motherboard Intell 440BX
128 RAM
SB Live value card
Viper 770ultra
DX 7.0

I honestly don't remember when it started. A few months ago and might have been when I changed my MB. I had a BE6II that did not work with my sound card.

When I try to "alt tab" nothing happens at all.

First check if your kb is working like it should. Some of my keys need a good hit sometimes, Guess I should pick a new one  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Have you changed your video-card's drivers before these problems or have you tried to fix alt-tabbing by changing to new drivers?

Does alt-tabbing work in Windows; can you jump between InternetExplorers windows with alt-tabbing?

Does this just happens in aceshigh or other games also.

My friend also has had problem alt tabbing out but said it sometimes can take him about 10 times before he does get to his desk top.
