Alt+tab Bug

Games, once launched cannot be ALT+TAB out of or they don't come back up, they still run in the Task Manager but you cannot get back into the game.

Is it OpenGL mode or DirectX? Does it happen in both? I'm not sure but I think they will want to know what version you're using, what graphics card, drivers, operating system, and any other detail about the situation you can provide.

OpenGL is the mode where ALT+TAB doesn't work. We switched to DirectX and while it fixed the ALT+TAB bug the game no longer ran on 2 of my 3 machines, you'd begin playing and the screen would turn into a jumbled mess, even leaving the game and coming back it would be messed. I'd have to reboot to get it back to normal.

All of my PC's use ATI Radeon cards, one is AGP, one is PCI Express and the other is for a notebook. I have the latest drivers for all of them. I'm running Windows XP on my two desktop and Windows XP Media on my notebook.
