Minimizing Fable

Rolath · Post by **Rolath** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 8:37 am

Anyone know of a way to stop Fable from running in a Fullscreen-always on top mode? Cuz it really drives me mad not being able to do anything else like changing winamp playlist, chatting with an important person and stuff like that. If i MUST do something else...save (if possible) and exit, wich is a pain.... Pls help me if u can.

I've tryed the alt, tab, enter thing but when I do I can't get my mouse to respond.

I'm asking because none of the application switching keys(combos) work. Maybe someone found a tweak/patch or something for the program itself to make switching to desktop possible. In win98 there was the option to force a program to run in a window. I haven't been able to find anything like that in Xp, and the game doesn't have "run in a window option" as far as I know. I'm getting really frustrated about this

Whenever I need to go to another window and still keep the game up. I always pause it somehow and just alt+tab to my desktop. The only way I found to get around the issue with the mouse is to keep another window up (like a browser window) and I can move my mouse around just fine. It allows you to alt-tab to that window because there's something there. If you try to do it without an extra window up, then you can't and have to exit the game to do so.

I tryed with extra windows, programs, anything...when i press alt+tab or ctrl+esc it shows me the taskbar for like half a second, the mouse freezes and that's it...it returns to fable

if i press alt+tab again the mouse is restored and still fable on top of EVERYTHING else, even task manager.
