Title: Alt-Tab Lag Issue Post by: Knghtvisn on December 06, 2010, 08:24:47 pm I have an odd problem that I can't seem to fix. Any time that I Alt-Tab out of EQ, it takes 7 seconds until that next window becomes active. Then when I alt-tab back in to EQ, it takes 20 seconds. I have excluded the EQ files from my virus scan, changed graphic settings, run in full screen, run in windows, update video drives...doesn't change anything, it's always 7 seconds out and 20 seconds back.
The computer shouldn't be the issue, but it's a Pentium duel core 3.00ghz with 2 gig ram. It's running Win XP and I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT. It's an older machine, but newer than the one I use to run EQ Live on back in the day. No one in my guild has seen this issue and I can run it on my laptop without this problem. So it's something going on with this machine. I checked these forms and ones on EQEmu and don't find anything related. Any thoughts/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure XP has SP3 installed and you're up to date on all windows updates. Update video drivers Update DirectX Sacrifice gnomes Title: Re: Alt-Tab Lag Issue Post by: Demin on December 06, 2010, 09:41:03 pm Run windowed mode.

Title: Re: Alt-Tab Lag Issue Post by: Knghtvisn on December 06, 2010, 09:50:05 pm xp is sp3, video drives and directx is up to date...I have not been able to sacrifice gnomes though..that could be the issue.
I usually run in windows mode, issues happens in either. Nothing in taskmanager that could be the issue. minimal tasks and all appropriate. Title: Re: Alt-Tab Lag Issue Post by: Warbash on December 06, 2010, 10:10:00 pm power supply or memory? Run memtest
