Once I close cod4 I am able to Alt tab between windows like normal and before some one ask this I have a CD copy and I have reinstalled the game before and it continue to repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution @J3st3r pointed me to was using windowed mode instead of full screen. Now it only crashes occasionally. Crappy 13 year old 32-bit software that COD4 is.

Disable game mode and see if that works plus you can make a exception there to the games but I turned mine off because of a similar problem - right click windows icon bottom left of screen then settings then gaming then game mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast it does for me. Just let it load and don't touch anything. If you "Have To" tab out, use the Windows key. You know the one that opens the start menu and looks like a little window on lower left part of the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
