[PC]Alt-tabbing out of full screen games

[Shiliangfan]

Hi,



I play Warcraft 3/CS:S/World of Warcraft on Vista Home Premium. FPS is generally not a problem for me, but alt-tabbing out of full screen mode for these games will cause my computer to stall for a good 10-20 seconds. I tried searching but I can't seem find a solution to reduce the stall time. Before upgrading to Vista, alt-tabbing on WinXP was instantaneous.



My computer specs as follow:

E6300 OC'ed to 2.81GHZ

OCZ 2GB DDR2-800 memory

Radeon X1950 PRO

Asus P5B Deluxe

Display mode has to change in Vista. It didn't in XP.



but that's a hefty delay nevertheless. Don't your games minimise if you tap the windows key? That's how I do it, and I only get the briefest of delays!

Hello



I also had this problem but i thought that it was normal.. Or just my system being slow....

My ALT+TAB seems to have a 4 or 5 second delay. I find the WINDOWS+TAB is almost instant.
