That should work but if your alt-tab closes the game instead of tabbing in and out, like it should, you need to then download the 'alt-tab hotfix' last.

Welcome to the forums
All that, and number 6 is the Alt-Tab fix which is
TV2 - Battle.no Portal - av spillere, for spillere
and the instructions are:
* Download the attached file
* Extract it into your Battlefield 2 install directory (you must have v1.50 installed already)
* When prompted accept that you want to over write the existing file
* In My Documents go to Battlefield 2\mods\bf2 and delete the cache directory
* Run BF2 as normal

I believe that 1.5 now includes the minimize fix.

The minimizing problem came whit 1.5, you were able to alt+tab normally in 1.41 but after the update you need the fix to be able to alt+tab

Don't the newer VBF2 discs have 1.41 on it? I'm sure mine did.

Ye I believe some do have 1.41 on already, depending when you bought BF2 though.

Fighter the reason I asked is that the download section says you need 1.5+.86 first in the patch download section (at the top of page)
Which brings me to another Q's in that when do you client patch with .87? After core and levels?
Thanks again, West

OK! it worked as described above... BF2 CD's+1.41BFpatch+1.5BFpatch+.87PRcore+.87PRlevels+.87PRpatch then the Alt&Tab fix.
Works great, thanks again, and maybe the PR manual should be updated regarding the installation directions to exclude .86 mod as a prerequisite to .87 installation.

Thanks, West
