Alt-Tab Lag Issue
 

I have an odd problem that I can't seem to fix. Any time that I Alt-Tab out of EQ, it takes 7 seconds until that next window becomes active. Then when I alt-tab back in to EQ, it takes 20 seconds. I have excluded the EQ files from my virus scan, changed graphic settings, run in full screen, run in windows, update video drives...doesn't change anything, it's always 7 seconds out and 20 seconds back.

The computer shouldn't be the issue, but it's a Pentium duel core 3.00ghz with 2 gig ram. It's running Win XP and I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT. It's an older machine, but newer than the one I use to run EQ Live on back in the day. No one in my guild has seen this issue and I can run it on my laptop without this problem. So it's something going on with this machine. I checked these forms and ones on my server and don't find anything related.

Any thoughts/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try setting your desktop resolution and refresh rate to be the same as in-game.

same issue after making that change.
