Hi, i have installed OFP resistance ver 1.96 on my XP home and i'm not able to quickly alt tab and jump to desktop or any other running apps. If i do that the cursor change and became the "Windows one" and, in order to get back to the game screen, i have to press alt tab (keeping alt pressed) for a number of times equal to the number of applications running +1. After some tries sometimes i'm able to do that, but its just a question of luck :)

Does anyone know the source of this annoying problem?

Thanks

Some programs attempt to block alt-tabbing. It's been a long problem with
games, as exiting full screen can cause instability, mess up the gamma and
other things - it's beginning to improve nowadays but it's not quite there.

You could try updating your video drivers, but it's most likely down to that
particular application.
