Alt-tab Not Working.

Beyond the same plugin issues everyone has noticed (which are not horrible, easy enough just to unload the plugins for now), I am having an issue with alt-tabbing out of FFXI while running windower 4. When I initially logon and start playing, I can alt-tab out just fine. As soon as I zone, however, I can no longer do so. Alt-tab stops working altogether. Tabbing out does not become functional until I shut down completely and restart, and once again will stop working as soon as I zone to any other area or warp.

I have tried uninstalling windower and doing a clean install, no joy. Also I have made sure that I have chosen borderless window and not fullscreen.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Turn it off and on again. Call tech support. Jiggle the mouse.

Strangest thing....took your advice, called tech support. They asked me to make sure my computer power was plugged in. Silly me! Turns out I've been staring at a microwave all day, thinking I was playing FFXI. Not even my microwave, I have no idea whose house I'm in right now.

Anyway, cheers!

Still no solution found :( Anyone having the same problem?

well, do you even see the taskbar?

No. Everything works fine until the first zone change. Then everything disappears except FFXI, and will not let me tab out. If I force it to change focus to another program (chrome, etc) via task manager, POL crashes.

Also noticed that POL will crash whenever I logout or shutdown in game when windower is running.

i am having same problem

Ok, found a workaround of sorts. In windower, I lowered the horizontal and vertical resolution (1920 x 1080) by 2 lines each (to 1918 x 1078) and now the alt-tab functionality stays even after I zone.

So, there it is I guess. Not sure the reason, but it will do for now.

if you don't see the taskbar (unless you have it turned off or to hide) it means you're in fullscreen mode.

aka a configuration issue.

I am having issues with alt-tabbing as well. Every time I alt-tab, the game zooms in on my character, which can be annoying to come back to. Also, I am having an error where the selection cursor on the menu gets trapped in some kind of loop and it is stuck in the top position ("Status"). When I attempt to run a second instance, I have even more problems related to the cursor, although I'm unsure if using Sandbox would fix that problem.
