ALT TAB and Sims
Looking for some help here.
I have an AMD FX53 on A8V Deluxe with X800XT Radeon (4.11 drivers), using XP home. I use N2k3 and GTR. All works brilliantly except for ALT TAB. With N2k3, if I ALT TAB away and then try to go back, sometimes it works but usually I get a CTD. With GTR, on trying to return I either get a black screen or some 'sound bars'. The red-fingered mouse still works but otherwise I'm buggered. I've loads of googling and, as a result, tried disabling my dual monitor, setting the desktop the same as or different from the game, forcing game select for AA or manual. Nothing seems to make any difference at all. This is tremendously irritating and makes things like Motec effectively unusable. I would really appreciate any help from anyone who's come across this before - never had it myself on my old computer. Regards |

"I have an AMD FX53 on A8V Deluxe with X800XT Radeon"
Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for you LOL Tabbing to the desktop has always been finicky, especially when tabbing out of a 3D based game. I'm afraid I have no clue how to solve something like this. There is _so_ much involved, I'm sure the problem is different for every person that has it. -Larry "Neil Charlton" > wrote in message ... > Looking for some help here. > > I have an AMD FX53 on A8V Deluxe with X800XT Radeon (4.11 drivers), using XP > home.

Hello,
While configuring my TrackIR Pro, i discovered that [ALT]-[TAB] only works for me, when i'm in the menu's or garage-screen. When i [ALT]-[TAB] while on the track, i get a black-screen when returning. I'm using XP-Pro, AMD64 3400+ and ATI-Radeon with latest 4.12 betadrivers. Marcel |

Apparently she polled all my friends as to what the ultimate system would be and they sure gave her good info. I have 6xAA, 16xAF, all textures high and all games maxed out in every respect and still never drop below 45 fps and usually in the hundreds. It's even seemed to have knocked half a second off most of my laptimes although that might just have been the break from racing for a month This Alt-Tab thing's got me buggered though. Regards |
