Ryzom

I'd like to play Ryzom in a Windows mode. If I go into graphics and uncheck full screen, I see the game in a Window, but the cursor does not pass out of the playing area, so I cannot maximize the window, or click outside the program.

How can I play in Windows mode and maximize that window?

I only got the game 2 days ago and have not toyed with the windowed mode, but if you have a Windows key on your keyboard, I would think that would work.

Once in windowed mode, you can switch between open programs by using Alt TAB, also, (although I have not tested it), if you press the K key, there is a keyboard command to release the mouse (aka making it available to programs outside of ryzom)

I was surprised to learn that alt-tab doesn't work - especially because in other games as long as your in-game graphic resolution is lower than your computer resolution you should be able to. Does it work for anyone else? I'm wondering whether this is graphics card related. I have a 256 ATI9800XT.

If you're in windowed mode, press U to reach the in-game configuration screen. From thre, click Inputs, then Mouse, and make sure Hardware is checked

if you want to use alt tab just open explorer up before the game starts it will let you alt tab between both. I use teamspeak it works the same as explorer and just keep that up all the time. I run in full screen and to get outta game i just alt-tab into TS then use the windows button to bring up my taskbar thing. just make sure u open explorer before the game.

That worked! Once I clicked "Hardware" everything worked as I'd hoped. Thank you so much!
