wolfy6finger Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Question: I downloaded this mod (Box Score Extractor, as I'm a big stat freak), and at the end of the dynasty game, when you can look at the boxscore a 2nd time, I try to use the program. Everytime, I try to go my desktop to use this great mod, my PC freezes (doesn't even get to desktop). Now, I thought I read somwhere on this site, that with some video/graphics cards, you can't Ctrl-Tab, etc. to the desktop when in MVP. (Note: I'll have to check my system when I get home to see what video/graphis card I have) But I know I can go to my desktop, then back, when I'm playing other EA titles, such as Madden, NBA Live), so I'm not sure if it's the card or my MVP 2006 that won't allow my to use this mod. Anyone have any solutions to this problem? Suggestions? Thanks in Advance Wolfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoCubs720 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I use the key on the left side of the keyboard, to the right of the CTRL key (the one with the windows symbol on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy6finger Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hey thanks, that was one key I haven't tried yet. 2 more hours of work, and I'll go try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Try the Windows key (above) + D. Windows+D. It takes you back to your desktop. You can use that if you have anything open - Photoshop, games, windows - pretty useful combo. -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro23 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have an ATI X1600 Pro. Deskstop is set at 1280 x 1024. If I run the game in that, I can't minimize MVP and jump back out to the desktop. I have to run MVP at the settings just below 1280 x 1024 in the game. I use the lower resolution and the windows key to minimize. There's a whole thread on this somewhere on the boards. Try this and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalibuKiller Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 You just have to use another resolution in windows then you use in the game , lower or higher it doesnt matter but needs to be somthing else then ingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
