I have an x2 4200 1 gig ram and a 7600gt, and 2142 runs great but everytime i try to maximize the 2142 window after alt + tabbing it just freezes up. One of my friends has this happening to him also. Is a glitch in the game or something?
Yea I get this too and its really starting to piss me off!
BF2142 is not alt+tab friendly, so it probably is the game's fault.
I can do it fine :s
although ive had a bug where the game minimizes itself 3-4 times every hour or two of play. Happened to BF2 as well.

Might want to check out for spyware and viruses on your computer.gene_pool wrote:

That sounds like some unknown background process going on.
I have to press tab+alt for some reason and if its minimised for more than a few seconds it will just stay stuck like that so I have to hit the restrat button Rather annoying.
It freezes for me too.
it freezes for me most of the time... if im lucky i can alt-tab back in
IT works fine 4 me when i alt tab it
ya, me too, its a painburton wrote:

It happens to me sometimes but other times it works fine, Norton anti virus decided to pop up yesterday at literaly the very last second of a game in which i scoreed about 300 point, i was so pissed off and that was the last day Norton spent on my computer.
5 out of 10 times I get the freeze (black screen) other times it is fine. Goofy freaking game.
Thats what i thought, checked for viruses and the like. Nothing. and its fine on my other games...Just the BF series :sStormEye wrote:

Interesting. BTW, I had the same problem some time ago with BF2. However, I do not know what exactly I did (or patch did) but the problem was fixed.gene_pool wrote:

I've found a solution that has always worked for me. If ever it had alt tabbed, go to Control-Alt-Delete, right click BF2142 under Tasks, and press maximize. Worked every time for me..
I shall try it sometime.SaladForks wrote:

If it works for me, expect a +1 karma from me.
Sounds like a good idea.SaladForks wrote:

This Alt-Tab unfriendliness is getting rather irritating.
I think your problem is the 1024MB ram. I just upgraded to 2048MB and that problem is fixed, along with choppy game play. I had to run AA2x and a few settings on medium but now with the extra ram (not generic shit mind-you) i can run all max settings @1280/1024.

i´m pretty confident that this ain´t a ram/computer problem dunno i get the feeling it has something to do with the Resolution
I will try the Ctrl Alt Del thing it gets really tiresome when you have those crashes all the time from Tabbing and no i can´t play without tabbing either

i only can alt tab when im at the main menu without any game connected
TRY CTRL + SHIFT + ESC
it works instantly for me......unlike alt - tab

I was wondering... what are you people doing alt tabbing out anyways? The only people I would expect to alt tab out are admins to access the control panel if they don't have the ingame stuff working.AmbassadorofPain wrote:
