Alt+tab bug

Ok now this really isnt a big deal, but I thought Id post it anyway:

I'm on a Windows machine, and I have my taskbar at the top of the screen, and when I alt+tab in/out of altitude, altitude gets pushed 1 taskbar's worth of height down for each time, so eventually I can't even see the game :P It works fine with all the other taskbar positions though!

what version of windows are you running (xp, vista, 7) so we can try and reproduce this.

Windows XP, sp2 ^^

hmmm that's weird. submit a bug report: http://altitudegame.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11

I'm guessing it's a video card driver issue. What video card do you have?

Ow, sorry, don't know how I missed that. Added the log and systeminfo now. My gfx card is Geforce 4 ti 4200, and I still have the bug after I updated my drivers :X

hmmm... outside of new drivers (which you already tried) I can't think of anything that would have a good chance of fixing this.

I checked the log file you send and there's nothing in there to help solve this problem.

As a work around you can just run the game in windowed mode or everytime the screen gets too small type "optionsGraphicsFullscreen false" then "optionsGraphicsFullscreen true" in the console (F1). That will toggle fullscreen mode.
