Good Day to you all!

I was recently having serious issues getting my game to WORK in fullscreen. I found the issue and I will lay it out below.

Issue: clicking in some spots in fullscreen drops me out of my window and into my desktop.

Solution: The bad clickable area was the area outside my screen in WINDOWED mode, so when I went into fullscreen I had graphics there, but clicking in the space would be like clicking my desktop and would minimize the program. (this can been seen as your pointer will change shape to desktop style from EQ style). To resolve this, you have to get your windowed screen to be "fullscreen", I just ramped my resolution up via EQ button, options, Display, video modes. When your windowed screen is >= your monitor's size, you can hit alt+enter to go fullscreen and will no longer have the "bad" clickable areas on your screen.

I was using : Win 8, Dell inspiron laptop, INTEL HD Graphics 4000

Hope this helps someone else!

I had a similar problem when using an Intel HD video. I fixed it by "disable desktop composition" in my shortcut; I assume an aero bug.
