MarkB Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 As far as I know, it's video card dependant. I use a combination of ALT-TAB, Windows key + D and CTRL+ALT+DEL and it works every time.

If it means anything my videocard is a radeon 9800 np. If you've tried all the suggestions that work for others, and it doesn't work for you, I doubt you will be able to do it.

Mafo Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I think I just found a solution. In your options, select "Auto-detect". I think you can change everything EXCEPT the screen resolution option. This let me alt-tab in game now. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/6667-any-way-to-minimize-to-desktop-during-a-game/#findComment-84783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
