If you haven't got this one, it's very handy indeed. You can set it to run on windows boot up. very handy Happy

Here is the latest version of Q3E Minimizer. This will let you quickly minimize and maximize any game running from the Quake 3 engine base (such as EF1 and EF2).
Features:

-=Features new to v1.51=-

-Bug Fixes
*Fixed a bug where if you closed a game, then opened it again, you'd
get an error message saying that the maximize hotkey had already been registered.
(Not actually bad, but started to annoy the heck out of me ;P )
*Fixed a bug where trying to swap the hotkeys (or make both fields the same
set of hotkeys) when a game was active wouldn't work, and would cause invalid
hotkey entries.
*Fixed a bug where if the game was minimized through the 'Minimize if game
loses focus' checkbox, the active window would keep switching to the desktop every few
seconds. (Very very annoying stick out tongue )
*Fixed an error where if the DSM was used in conjunction with the 'Minimize if game
loses focus' checkbox, the resolution wouldn't change.
*Fixed a small glitch where there was a delay in the hotkeys working if new
ones were set while a game was active.
*Fixed a few loose odds and ends around the menus and added a few more error checking
functions.

alt+enter makes u beeing kicked under vista on pb servers.

and what u try to say with ur post, nood?

alt+enter takes time (game reloads), q3minimizer is instantly. playing in windows mode is no alternative.

@kraster, no it doesnt solve this. but for my needs it is ok anyways, just to check msn or irc while a war. otherwise i barely use switching from q3 to win and back.

as far as i know, if you have the gamma problem you must set

/r_overbrightbits "0"

And the size problem is that your desktop is a different size from q3?
i set both to 1024 x Thinking and it works perfectly

I still use v1.0 and got that gamma problem as well. Windows gamma goes crazy but once i quit teh game it goes back to normal so not so bothered with it.

dont u only have to turn "dynamic screen resolution modifier" on in the options? i think that solved the resolution prob for me...
i also have the gamma prob but its not annoying at all

no it doesnt. actually with r_ignorehwgamma 1 works but then my in-game gamma is so low i cant stand it. So meh, minor inconvenient when i do minimize. I will survive.
