Alt + Tab Changes Resolution - N4TH4N - 2013-02-23

Hello,

Im running XBMC 12 on Windows 7.

Recently when using Alt + Tab to access other programs (Google Chrome & Spotify) then going back to XBMC the resolution is changing from 1920x1080p to 1024x768p and requires me to go to settings each time to change it back to 1920x1080p.

Windows is set to 1920x1080 as are all other programs. So it can't be picking up the setting from anywhere else.

Is there a way to lock XBMC to use 1920x1080 no matter what as this is quite frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

I've got the same kind of problem, probably related to Direct X.

My windows desktop resolution is 1280x720 and XBMC is running at 1920x1080.

Every time I atl+tab or a windows event make the focus change out of XBMC ( example: antivirus warning ) it change XBMC resolution to match the windows desktop one.
ie switching XBMC resolution from 1080p to 720p.
