Not sure where else to put this as i don't want to clutter the General Discussion section.
TF2 on windows xp full screen: when i alt-tab back into TF2, it goes into a black screen and becomes unplayable until it is restarted.
-dxlevel is removed from launch options. using chris maxframes.
launch options:
-w 1280 -h 720 -freq 120 -above normal -full -console -novid

use -windowed -noborder -w 1280 -h 720
very few games in fullscreen play nice with alt+tab

is there a way without using windowed/noborder? for win7, removing -dxlevel from launch options is enough to allow me to alt-tab freely even from fullscreen mode.
is this issue inherent in xp? really want to keep fullscreen.

windowed/noborder is ostensibly the same thing, but afaik if you want to -keep- using fullscreen you'll have to deal with that being an issue when you alt-tab

windowed/noborder is not the same if you have a different desktop resolution (1920/1080).
has anyone used windows xp before with fullscreen and not have this issue? if so what tweaks did you make?

just change the res of tf2 in launch options:
-windowed -noborder -w 1920 -h 1080

the goal is to run 1280x720 full screen. not windowed,noborder.

I run at 800x600 on XP, full screen. If I'm not in a server I can alt+tab freely but if I'm in a server it takes a long time to tab in and out and most of the time when I tab back in I time out from the server.

something to do with the video config i guess. windows xp rig is on dxlevel 81 (not set in launch options of course)

Same here, lego config 4life.

This is most likely the config more than the OS. Try taking out your config and running TF2 with -autoconfig. See if the problem still exists. Most likely, it'll be fine, but who knows
