Global Agenda: Alt-Tab Work-Around

Windows is a great operating system with lots of games and the ability to switch windows at will. Using Alt-Tab, you can switch to any window almost instantly. And that feature works great with many games, such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2 running with DirectX 11. However, many games, running with DirectX 9 on Windows 7 may have problems switch in and out of the game. Global Agenda has such a problem. It's easy to Alt-Tab out of it, but virtually impossible to get back in.

Frustrated with this issue, I found a great work-around last night for full-screen game play. In the video settings, run the game at the highest-resolution it support. But rather than running the game as "Windowed" or "Full-Screen", select "Borderless". This setting causes Global Agenda to run as a windowed application, but with no Windows border. Therefore, it looks like it is running full-screen.

Using this mode, Alt-Tab between various windows works seamlessly. And it's even faster than switching in and out of full-screen games.
