A couple of users have complained of ALT-TAB problems. For example:
QuoteWhen I alt-tabbed out, I couldn't go back in, it said mouse = 0 click = 0 or something, and got me stuck.

It works fine for me. Any idea what's happening and how to avoid it?

useful files:
The game he tested
the latest version
the latest version without music (smaller download)

It has to do with multitasking mode.

Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Thanks. Are there known issues with this? I have it on the default setting (0)- do you recommend changing it (to 1)? Or providing that option to users?

Providing an option sounds better. I'm not really the guy to tell you about it, but if the game appears as to difficult to handle and the player alt-tabs it might get stuck..just like any other game.

Were these people running full-screen or windowed? With DirectX 9 or DirectDraw 5 driver?
