Angry Alt+tab Issues
I play a game called maplestory, and i have played for a while. I just started up again, and whenever i try to minimize the game using alt tab or any other thing, it successfully minimizes. The problem is that my cursor is invisible. It can drag icons on the desktop, but cannot click them. When i used to play, this was not an issue. I tried reinstalling my graphics drivers but that didnt help. Any answers are appreciated.

Hiya and welcome to Tech Support Guy

When you alt-tab back to Desktop, before you use your mouse, rightclick somewhere on your Desktop, and it should re-appear.

Its the same when you go back to the game, rightclick again.

Do you know if you have installed anything that could have caused this? lets have a look at a HJT log.

It may not be malware related, but it shows whats running on startup


Click here to download HJTInstall.exe
  • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
