Screen alt-tabbing

[Confess]

Hi,

 

I have a new laptop, Toshiba Satelite L655. Intel core I3, 4gb ram, 500gb hd..

This is very strange! For some reason or another, when my power scheme is set to 'High Performance', continuum will alt-tab out of itself. However, if I set it to eco mode, it will work! Any ideas what might be causing this? Is continuum just too low tech to handle anything above a 300 mhz computer?

 

Thanks

Unless the power scheme underclocks/overclocks your system, I don't think it has to do with speed.

 

Does it alt+tab itself once it goes full screen? Have you tried windowed mode? I'm assuming this is Windows 7, which I know nothing about, so try running it in compatibility mode or something.

 

EDIT: Actually, this sounds like a resolution problem. Check on those settings first in the client and your video card driver.

CPU auto-under/over clock is pretty common, but I doubt it would affect that. My Phenom x6 CPU automatically underclock itself when idle, and overclocks some cores when only 1 or 2 of them are used...

 

Does it alt-tabs out every few minutes? every second? randomly? Do you see any kind of pop-up on the desktop that could cause it? Could you try with another full-screen game?

this happens seemingly randomly to me as well under winxp

just click back in and go about your business as usual

 

unless you play hyperspace, in which you will be speclocked for the next 5 minutes

hahaha he's right, alt tab in HS and you're auto-specced

It happens everytime I click on it - Yes, it does under/over clock itself in order to conserve power, and no - it does not happen when in windowed mode..Is there any solution?

 

If its video card...I supposed I need to reinstall my gfx driver?

Do you have multiple video cards?

@Cheese if you use firefox: Actually I have a problem like this with Firefox automatically minimizing Continuum. If you close Firefox or leave it maximized and then hit the play button it gets fixed.
