Alt+Tab ?

[JEBO]

A short question..how do u guys "tab out" of the game ? Is there a possibility to minize the screen in CIV IV (win10)?

I do not have windows 10, but there are a few tricks I use:
If Alt-Tab doesn't work, try ALT-Enter
If Alt-Enter doesn't work, try Windows-D
If that doesn't work, try ctrl-alt-del
if that doesn't work, I look on google.

If you don't have another window open to say the internet you use Alt/Esc. (otherwise Alt/tab) This will take you to desktop. The mouse pointer will be in the top left corner and you will need to right mouse button click it to release it from that position. I use it all the time to do a quick check of "working files and folders" for modding the game. Or to get to desktop to open my Firefox browser, etc..

Just hit the windows button. You have to wait after doing so for a bit because it's a heavy operation but it should take you right out of the game, leaving it as an active running program icon on your windows bar. You can then do other stuff. Then come back by clicking on the civ icon. Takes a while again to reenter the game.

Try hitting win+m to minimize the active window...
