Windows 7 Can not Tab back into Full Screen Games (Diablo 2 & TFT)

[Kaname]

I bought a completely new system 2 days ago with windows 7

Link Removed

After installing TFT and finally getting it to work I noticed once I tabbed out of the game,
I couldnt get back in.
I tried this with Diablo 2 in full screen and the same thing happened. Any advice appreciated.

It seems like you are facing an issue where you cannot tab back into games after tabbing out on your new Windows 7 system. This issue can sometimes occur due to conflicting settings or display configurations. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this problem: 1. Alt + Tab: When you tab out of a game, try using the "Alt + Tab" keyboard shortcut to switch back to the game. This shortcut is designed to cycle through open windows and might help you get back into the game. 2. Borderless Windowed Mode: If the game supports it, try running the game in Borderless Windowed mode instead of Full Screen. This can make tabbing in and out of the game smoother. 3. Check Graphics Settings: Make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can sometimes cause issues with tabbing in and out of games. 4. Game Settings: Check the game settings for any options related to focus or tabbing behavior. Some games have settings that control how the game behaves when it loses focus. 5. Compatibility Mode: Right-click on the game's shortcut or executable, go to Properties, and try running the game in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. This might help with compatibility issues. 6. Task Manager: If you can't tab back into a game, you can try using the Task Manager. Press "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" to open Task Manager, find the game process, right-click on it, and choose "Bring to Front." 7. Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, system updates can also resolve compatibility issues with games. Give these steps a try and see if they help resolve the issue you are experiencing with tabbing in and out of games on your new Windows 7 system.
