Okay...so here's the deal...I whenever I alt+tab out of the game, open a browser window...whatever reason, whenever I return to the game, my mouse fails to return to the game with me...and whenever I try to click a mob or anything, it simply minimizes the game again.

any ideas?

    same problem here except i accidently pressed the start button and yeah... had to restart the game to get back into it otherwise it would just take me back to desktop.

    Copied and pasted from another thread I responded to earlier today:

    Do you have East Asian Language packs installed?

    Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages Tab > Install Files for East Asian Languages (may require Windows disk).

    If that still happens, then I can only recommend running in Window mode. Many games have this issue, suspect it's more likely a DirectX issue in that case.

    I have had that issue as well. my solution have been to run in windowed mode. But that only allows you to run in smaller screen size than your destop... But it does allow you to stretch the window so you still get a full sized screen... hope this helps.

    After several more restarts of my computer due to installing various other programs, it finally started working with the solution posted above...it seems my machine just took a bit longer for it to kick in then it should have :)

    thanks guys!
