Can't ALT-TAB back into WoW

Whenever I ALT-TAB out of WoW it minimizes to taskbar and I go about my business. Now, the issue comes up when I try to ALT-TAB back into game. The game maximizes like it should, screen flashes up for a second then game will immediately minimize back to taskbar. No matter how many time I try to ALT-TAB back into game it constantly re-minimizes window immediately.

Im on Vista Home Premium 64-bit if that matters.

I can open task manager and bring WoW to the front to get it back to fullscreen but that is only way I can get it back up without killing the process and re-starting WoW.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Tradrelina,

Are you using a computer with an Intel GMA adapter with a driver from late 2008 or early 2009? If you do, that's a known issue with the driver. You can try to get around it by using the last driver update from Intel or run the game in windowed mode.
