Random EQ minimizing

[Galv]

I'll try to explain this the best I can.

It just started tonight, when i try to click(using mouse) on my second hotbar it will immediately minimize the game if I am in full screen mode. If I am already in window mode it works normally. This was rather anoying but I lived with it. However, I died earlier tonight and got lucky enough to get a rezz by a passing cleric. When I accepted the rezz i was in full screen mode and again it immediately sent me to windowed mode and the rezz didnt go thru.

I got lucky enough to get another rezz cast on me later that night, I made sure I was in windowed mode before I accepted and the rezz went through.

I also got rid of my second hotbar and went to my third hotbar and the auto dropin to windowed mode has stoped for now. I am just worried that other hotkeys/box's could do the same thing later on if I dont find out what it is.

Does anyone have an idea if what it might be?

As far as mods to the game, I currently use the Kunark loading screen and the old school spell images, pre luclin.

I had the exact same problem. What is happening is you are changing the focus from EQ back to your desktop. For whatever reason, EQ thinks you're in windowed mode even when you're in fullscreen mode. You can demonstrate for yourself what is happening by moving the window around before going full-screen and paying attention to what areas of the screen cause the game to minimize.

The only way I have found to correct this problem is to change the windowed resolution such that it is the same as the full screen resolution (whatever your monitor resolution is set to be).

My fix was to put EQ into windowed, right-click its spot on the taskbar to "move window" and drag it until the EQ instance covers the whole screen. Then I return to fullscreen, and the problem doesn't surface anymore.

I'm having this problem but I can't get my minimized window to take up the whole screen. I can't drag the edges so I'm going to have to edit the file that contains the values directly. Anyone remember how to do this? I'm searching everywhere but I can't figure it out.

it's eqclient.ini

Notice, by the way, that if your cursor turns white in game, if you click it's going to drop you out.
