Title: alt-tab with windows XP
Post by: borrowed soap on 16 Jun 2003, 16:37:12
a problem has developed where i cannot start the game without dual mouse cursurs, one for the desktop and one for the game, and the alt-tab function has increasingly deteriorated until now it no longer works in opflash at all.  i have had both the game and the xp pro OS, and have had no problems until getting the GOTY edition.  i have reformatted and reinstalled until blue in the face, to no avail.  has anyone else encountered this problem, and what was your solution? suddenly i can longer edit or even play the game.  the microsoft database has no answers, as this seems to be case specific to OpFlash.  about a year ago someone else in the forums had a similar problem, but with only the regular game and version 1.31 at that time.  i had no help for him as mine was not having the same problems, but now i do.   also, as long as u have read this far, do u know how to make an enemy AI throw his smoke shell? i have used lustypoohs reference guide, trying:
enemyUnit action ["THROW",smokeShell], but this doesnt work.  i have read over the current thread by toadlife, but didnt see it in there either.

I have GOTY ed and it sometimes take about 30 secs for the game to alt-tab out of itself so just try and wait.
