    Hey guys,

    While playing World of Warcraft or any joint account game and running multiple instances of that game (meaning I open the game twice so I can log onto 2 different account) when ever I alt + tab from one to the other its perfectly fine for around 3 - 5 Alt + tab events but when I go past that number It crashes the entire computer with a really bad hang!

    I dont think its performance releated as the game runs perfectly smooth and works like this on a friends lower speced machine... Is this memory releated or other

    Thanks in advance

    PC Spec is as follows!

    Athlon 64 SK939 3800+ 2.4GHZ
    4GB DDR400 Kingston
    RAID 0 (2 x WD 80GB SATAII)
    ECS KN1 Extreme SLi Motherboard
    SLi (2 x 7600GT GDDR3)
    Windows XP SP2 (All Updates)

    Are you running WoW as full screen or windowed? Try windowed mode if you aren't already.

    (and damn, it was expensive when I had one account, but two!?)

    One is a friends account and the other is my new low level account and I set my low level buy on follow for hard quests and solo it with his :cooldude:

    As for Window mode, how do I set it to go window instead of full screen?

    Cheers

    Ummm I don't play WoW anymore, but bring the menu up when logged in (you may need to do this on both accounts, but do it one at a time, in the same client) go to video options and somewhere around the bottom left (iirc) there will be the option of running in windowed mode. You can select remove borders (or something) so that it looks like full screen. But subtly, it isn't.
