ALT TAB out of the game and then it does not respond anymore. I have to shut down everything and restart the game. Game is vanguard.

You can't run the game in both windowed and full screen interchangably with ALT-TAB (it's a vanguard issue.)

So, you can set it to windowed mode, quit out and return ..and then alt-tab will work fine unless you go to full-screen mode again.

If you want to go in and out of game using full screen mode ..you have to use Alt-Enter to get to the windowed mode..then manually hit the 'minimize' button.

you will most likely have to adjust the gamma using is, because when you change vanguard to windowed mode it no longer allows you to do any ingame collor correction (lame)

command is gamma -set ##, where ## is 1-100

i use 90 to get mine back to normal-looking brightness

Start windowed and then do shift alt f for fullscreen
there are other shortcuts in the innerspace startupscreen from VG

The thing with starting windowed or changing windowed is it messes up the layout and I have to change it back everytime. :(

I play in windowed all the time and never have a problem, in fact I get better FPS in windowed mode.

If your layout is screwed up it's because your resolution is different between fullscreen and windowed. In windowed mode your resolution will match whatever your windows resolution is. So, when you're in fullscreen mode, set your video resolution as exactly the same as your windows resolution and you won't have any problems with layout.

My fullscreen is the same as my windows 1680x1050 but when I put it in windows mode it drops down to 1024x768. I also get horrible FPS in windowed vs fullscreen so I hope IS fullscreen does not do that as well. Thanks.

If the resolution is dropping to 1024x768 when you go to windowed mode, then it means your windows is in 1024x768 ..there's no other explanation.

You should check your resolution windows and make sure it's what you believe it to be.

1680x1050...it doesn't go by your windows resolution. You can change it in game and for some reason(default maybe) it was 1024x768 in windowed. All is good now.
