When ever I run PWI in full screen it runs fine until I alt tab. I alt tab out of the program just fine. It switches almost immediatly. My problem is alt tabbing back in. It brings the game client back up but it's as if the mouse is not in the game. I can see the pointer and move it, but as soon as I click some where it minimizes the game client again and I can not play considering I can't even do anything or click anything in the game. My only fix for that is to go into windowed mode but that brings up another issue. @_@

    I looked at taht and I don't think a language pack has anything to do with this problem considering it only occure when it's fullscreen.

    It's a common problem, and most people have reported this solution works. Most likely it has to do with your system's inability to read certain Chinese game files (the game was coded in China, after all).

    Are you guys sure that installing the language pack went 100% fine? It seems kinda weird cause since about 20 of my friends play this game and for all of them it worked just fine.

    i had that prob as well, you just have to install the datas for eastasiatic languages from your original windows cd. This is done by going to system---> region-and language options--->language--->and tick "datas for eastasiatic languages". Then insert the windows cd and the pc will install these datas.

    Hope that helps,
    regards Massi
