I have Windows on my HP Desktop computer and when I play games like World of Tanks or Dayz in FULL SCREEN mode my computer constantly keeps tabbing me out of the game back to the desktop. I've tried closing all programs i have in my toolbar like skype, mouse/keyboard programs, etc... Havent found what may be closing it? any help?

First check if there is any possible way to disable the ALT + TAB in the game your playing, some games have that feature.

If your game has no such feature you might have to install a third party program that can alter the predefined keystrokes while playing.

Hope this helps.

1) Download the zip file located here: http://www.autohotkey.com/download/AutoHotkey.zip (or download the installer http://www.autohotkey.com/download/A...keyInstall.exe).

2) Open up AutoHotKey and go to File > Edit Script (or create your own script file by opening up notepad and creating a .ahk file).

3) The ONLY code that you have to type to disable the Alt-Tab key combination is "!Tab::return" (without quotes). That's it! All lines beginning with a semicolon ( ; ) are comment lines and you can just ignore or erase them. If you view the help file and read just a little bit you can disable just about any Windows hotkeys that you want. Experiment a little!

4) Now, if you want the file to be portable like I did (without needing AutoHotKey to be installed) you can use the compiler included with AutoHotKey that will convert your file to an executable for you! If you downloaded the zip file, find the "Compiler" folder after you have extracted. If you downloaded the installer, find AutoHotKey in your Start Menu and find the "Convert .ahk to .exe" link

I probably should have included this is my first answer.

Fixed it a different way by deleting a few third party programs there were running in the background with out me being able to see them anywhere.

So i deleted those and did a full computer scan on my virus program and it erased some file that was super weird and that seemed to fix it thanks anyways tho.
