Just upgraded to XP from w98, along with a heafty system upgrade... and f*****g christ, not being able to alt-tab from EQW is driving me insane! Sure, I can release the mouse and go click shit, but alt-tabing / windows key was sooo much damned easier..

Anyone know of any way possible to get this functionality back in WinXP? It's not a bad OS so far, little quirky but it's pretty quick. But f**k, if I can't get to my porn sites on raids quickly and effeciently, I may have to go back to w98 Sad.

Feh..

On another note, I have WinXP and use the windows function. Is there anyway to play 2 accounts on 1 computer with the new window function?

I know I could before on EQW, but with the actual EQ version of a window, its been f****d since I patched it.

Anyone know?

no, with actual EQ in a window you can't run two instances.

Yeah I went to the EQW site and read up about the problem. It's a compatibility function w/eq in general. But either way, it's fixed now, yay n' shit. Thank's for the tips Very Happy

Now, if I can only get my stupid mousewheel to work in game again.. argggg.
