Can any of you boffins out there help me, i have never been able to tab/alt out of the game. The only time i could do it is when i have changed my exe file name, the only issue i then have is when i rejoin the game i lose one inch of the bottom of the screen. Any help would be much appreciated.
Yeah alt+tabbing is flawed with most games.
Try to Ctrl+Alt+Del and then tab or press Start and then tab, so you will have something else to tab to.
Can't tell ya out of memory if i can tab out of BF2 but this definitely helps me with one specific game.

no problems for me, i think your resolution has soemthing to do with it.
Hold Ctrl+Esc. It just downsizes the game to the taskbar. Works fine everytime.
What he said, Alt is the key that alters the function on other keys just like shift, ctrl and Alt Gr.Dauntless wrote:
You're holding alt and then pressing tab right? not Tab then Alt?
Only reason I ask is because most people type it as Alt/Tab.
So Alt + Tab is the way to go, not Tab + Alt !
Wait behind the line ..............................................................
Yeah i def hit alt first. And ctrl, escape doesnt seem to work either its nuts.
Try it when you have another window open, a internet session or something else !taffy1979 wrote:

Does it normally work for you like tabbing between two windows ?

One little thing i forgot to mention is it seems as tho it goes to windows, as in the pointer changes when i hover over open windows in the background,however the bf2 screen will not go away
I find it helps to have another application running, other than BF2.
Just make it one that does not use a lot of system resources.
What I do is open Internet Explorer, and set it to a blank page.
Or you could open an empty page on Notepad or something.
Alt-Tab is really to toggle between applications, so if BF2 is the only one running, the computer sometimes has trouble leaping out of it if there is not other application running.

Yeah or for example the task manager.Rick_O_Shea678 wrote:

Ah yes, you told him to Ctrl-Alt-Del, or try pressing the Start key.
I didn't think that was very good advice, so I gave him a different suggestion.
Try this:
Right click on the desktop, click properties and go to settings. Then change the colour quality to 16bit.
Then open BF2 and try alt and tab.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
