Hi, I've got a dumb question about the hi-res mod. I installed it when I bought my Samsung 930B LCD a couple weeks ago because at 1024x768 the display looks "squashed" vertically - i.e. the periscope view is oval instead of round

I set the mod to run at the panel's native res (1280x1024) and it looks perfect...

Problem is, the mod docs say you can task-switch back to desktop, but this don't work for me! If I alt-tab, I'm back to desktop but the SH3 screen is overlaid on it, covering everything. Moving the mouse over an icon causes the icon to briefly appear but then it disappears as soon as the SH3 screen refreshes. So I can't access anything on the desktop

Anybody else have that problem or know how to fix it? Really need to task-switch, it takes so freakin' long to load SH3 that I leave it running all the time, and just pause the game and switch back to desktop when I want to do something else.

System specs:

Dell 8250, 3.06ghz P4 w/HT
1gb rdram
Radeon 9800XT, 256mb, driver version 6.14.10.6512
DirectX 9.0c

[edit] - almost forgot!
Windows XP Home, SP1
Mod file - dx9res10.zip

TIA for any help!
