How do I minimize my COD4 Screen?

[CiTyCHiLD]

Hey Guys,
I just have a quick question. Everytime I minimize my cod4 screen then try to bring it back up, it just freezes and shows me a black screen. I push ALT, CTRL, and DEL to bring up the task manager and it says cod4 is not responding. What do you think is causing this problem?
If there is another thread that has this problem solved, then just link it to me.
Hope you guys can help.
Thanks

p.s I'm runing windows vista if that helps any

your graphics.
or just wait like 10 minutes ( thats what i did until i got a better graphics card)

Yeah , pretty much. Mine goes black screen for a few seconds after restoring from the task bar.
What specs are you video card/CPU?

i just use the "windows" button

ALT+TAB Works better than the Windows key. If you have a slow GPU, it's black while it tries to render all of the video. If you wait, eventually it will come back up. Mine sometimes takes ten or fifteen seconds to come up. Sometimes it's instant.

on mac you can alt+tab out and in pretty much instantly. Not on windows.

i just use ALT+TAB

if your comp is not graphic-high, after you press ALT+TAB and try to get bak in game, it won't, no matter how you do it.

Citychild i suggest you make your cod4 windowed. just like how i do



To make Cod4 windowed, first go to console, type /r_fullscreen 0. then type /vid_restart. VOILA! its windowed, but you have to make sure its smaller that your screen reso. mine is 1280x1024 and my cod4 reso is 640x480.

Try it

Thanks Nabil I will try that. That sounds like a really good idea. You even took a screen shot and everything, that's awesome man. Yeah the problem is my screen will minimize but not come back up. I should have titled this thread with a better title. I've waited like cent said but I didn't have the patience. My game will say it's not responding so i have to wait for ever for it to respond again. Anyways thanks for all your comments

Hang on, yo run COD4 at 640 x 480? How do you see anyone at the other end of the map?
