Games keep tabbing out??

RezZed · 10th August 2012, 7:18 PM

Hi all,

Had my new rig up and running for a while and all of a sudden while playing games they keep tabbing out on me, I don't know why. Since it's started happening I've only been playing LoL and Ace of Spades, the games sort just minimize on me. It happens even when I close every other running program. It also sort of happens with chrome but it just deactivates the window as if I'm in another window even if I'm not. Any advice on what's happening i.e. happened to you before?.

Thanks all,
-RezZed

sounds like the applications are losing focus - try closing all your applications one by one before you launch the game.

It may sound stupid, but you're not accidently pressing the windows key? or alt+tab? or windows + d?

I'd disable virus scanner, skype, msn, etc anything with a popup

he's saying all the other programs you have open in the taskbar. So at the moment you might have skype, firefox, teamspeak...whatever. Just close them one at a time and play the game, isolating what the program is.

I'd just close them all.
