alt tab issue

When I have to alt tab out of star trek online for a reason sometimes when I alt tab back the program resumes as normal sometimes it does not and instead just remains in the taskbar and sometimes it remains in the taskbar and just shows a smaller rectangular black box in the middle of the screen. Can anyone help me with this please? My other computer games work fine. I wasn't having this issue two months ago.

    I get this too . When I alt tab, works fine sometimes, sometimes it does not. I notice if I can still hear the sound of the game running when I alt tab... It has crashed. (usually the game sound shuts off when alt tabing)

    Do you run in full screen or windowed mode? I run mine in maximised windows mode (covers the task bar and looks full screen) and alt-tab works fine.

    I will try windowed mode again. I seem to think there was some reason I didnt like it but I can't remember what it is... it was long ago lol.

    I've noticed weird issues sometimes when Teamspeak is running for a long time... either with the game, or with TS

    For instance: I launch the game and there isn't any sound. I have to exit the game, shut TS down, relaunch the game, and then relaunch TS. It's infinitely more problematic when I use their plugins.
