Problem with games not being given focus on start Thread last updated on 2003-05-15 23:04:20

Hello, I´m not really sure what module it is that is causing this but, when I start a fullscreen game like Quake, GTA or Tony Hawk it doesn't get focus. The game just show up in the tasklist and I have to tab to enter it, and its not possible to tab to it until the introduction videos had finished. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem?

no desktop2.dll, the one that is included with the Litestep OTS release

I've experienced lsxcommand.dll causing this.

try commenting out all third party modules and then adding them in one at a time to get the problem in the crosshairs. also, try jugg's suggestion with messing with lsxcommand.dll

Crap, I found out what the problem is, its lsslider.dll.
I often use it so I don't really feel like removing the sliders :/ Does anyone know if the problem can be solved in some other way?

I suppose you could unload the module before starting such programs and then reloading afterwards. Sounds like a bit of a pain, though. And I don't know if it would work. I am a bit of a newbie myself. Also, I've never used sliders, but are there alternative modules that may not cause such interference? Don't really know.

Get in touch with blkhawk. He's usually rather quick when it comes to fixing such things. ^_^

Hmm, don't know how to get in contact with him. Has anyone else experiences this problem using lsslider.dll and know how to fix it?
