Ever since my last reinstall of Baldurs Gate I can't minimize it with Alt+Tab. Before I could, but not now. It's not that big a deal since I can hit Alt+F4 and just not quit, but I was wondering if maybe there was something simple I could do to fix this.

Well is it just in BG that it doesn't work? You can also just use windows+d or windows+m to minimise.

I did not know that. Cool. I'll have to try Alt+Tab with something else to find out if it's just BG but I think its with everything. I thought I used to be able to use it on BF1942 and it won't anymore for that either.

Thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Alt-tab is usually used to switch between programs, not to minimize them. That's usually done with windows-M (to minimize the current app) or windows-D (to minimize everything and go to the desktop), as Ross mentioned above.

If you had another window or program open when playing BG then you could ALT-TAB.

Usually if I need to go back I will press the windows key.
