Cant alt+ tab in windoed mode ingame

Description:
I have a fairly new install of Windows 8 with dual monitors and run both .98 and 1.0beta in windowed mode (1920x1050 to prevent missing terrain)and with .98.

When I'm ingame and try to alt+tab I can't get to another application like in I can in .98
In 1.0beta I have to alt+tab hold and switch to desktop ( minimizing PR). Mouse will disappear on monitor with PR running after hitting alt+tab, reappear when alt+tab back to PR. On rare occastions the first time I alt+tab it will work, second time it will not.

Doesn't happen before joining a server (splash screen), while joining a server. If I alt+tab +hold, the first time I don't see the correct desktop icons in center selections. 2nd time they appear. No other video related apps running during game (fraps ect..)

Steps to Reproduce:
In windowed mode. Run launcher. Join game. Alt+tab

Tested On:
Windows 8


-server name All servers
-version number 1.0.15.0. through 1.0.21.0

Video Settings
(if needed):

All video setting ingame set to HIGH

edit: forgot to add that you have to right click on window to move center orient the screen BEFORE you join server otherwise your stuck with bottom right orientation. I don't use any program which does this for you.

Do you happen to have MSI Afterburner running. It's OSD seems to cause this. When i closed AB alt-tab works (in full screen) :)

e: Also seems to work with latest AB beta: http://download1.msi.com/files/download ... Beta11.zip
