Using Alt-Tab and Windows XP
Here's some helpful info from Monkly-business that relates to windowing from EQ and Windows XP.
SoE announces Alt-Tab with Winxp fix
How to get Alt +Tab to work for Windows XP
Windows XP keeps a list of program compatibility information. Up until recently, EverQuest was not built to allow Alt + Tab, and so our executable ended up in this list explicitly preventing the Alt + Tab functionality. Obviously that has changed. We are working on getting that changed. But in the meantime, if you are using Windows XP and you would like to enable Alt + Tab, there is a way to get it to work.
First, you'll need the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit. It's nearly 7 megs.
You'll need to download and install the toolkit.
** This can be downloaded from this url:
www.microsoft.com/library...tails.aspx
**
Then:
Open the Compatibility Administration Tool.
At the top go to Search | Query.
Search for EverQuest.
Double click the item the search finds.
Right-Click the EQGame.exe entry and choose Disable.
Thanks to everyone that found this solution and pointed it out to us.

As you know We reported the solution last night. What is even funnier, is the fact that the people who knew about this solution, and pointed SoE to it, did not have to actually use it since it was already done on their computers months ago.
Hope this helps everyone.
