Check the d3d9.ini , it should have these values:


------------------------
[GLOBAL]
DebugLog=true

[ENGINE]
DisplayWidth=1920
DisplayHeight=1080
Refreshrate=false

[LOADSCREENS]
tx=0.044
ty=0.0205
sx=0.04
sy=0.02
maxscale=true

[EFFECTS]
Ocean=false
------------------------


Additionally, your SH3 shortcut must have these compatibility modes: Compatibility WinXP Service Pack 2, Launch program as Admin. (2 checkboxes ticked).

Everything checks out.

Could it be because the mod is in the MODS folder, activated by JSGME?
Or is that the correct way.

Yes, Ahnenerbes' GUI is activated via JSGME, you should have it on the right side of the JSGME window if activated.

If you have done all this, and still have the same problems, then something on your OS prevents the window switch, I cannot tell what it is. I hope someone has better ideas...

After trying to fix this problem unsuccessfully for several days I found another, unrelated thread that suggested that ARB WideGui 1920x1080 for SH3 has problems with desktop resolutions that are higher than 1600x900.

I found that simply changing your desktop (not game!) resolution to less than 1600x900 before starting SH 3, will allow you to ALT-TAB as much as you want from within the game.

Hopefully this can be of help to others who need to be able to switch to desktop while playing.

Thanks for the info! I had the same problem, but your solution helped me.
As Comet said, you need to switch your desktop resolution to 1600x900 or less before starting SH3. After the launch you can switch your desktop back to the original resolution and alt-tab all day.

Worked for me too. Knowing that you can immediately revert to your preferred resolution after the first Alt-Tab was very valuable to know, thanks!
