How to minimize plz read

[santiago]

Ok, I got autoit and i just want to run a game log in and then minimize it, cause i been trying to minimize it but everytime i try by pressing alt+tab or the windows button or Ctrl+alt+delete it quits out of the game, and my friend told me that autoit can minimize it with out closing it. So can you please tell me the script that i need? cause when i put WinMinimizeAll() in notepad and save it as .aut and then run it with autoit it doesn't work.

the game i'm trying to run is in here C:\Program Files\Xiah Studio\Xiah Online

the direct url is C:\Program Files\Xiah Studio\Xiah Online\xiah.exe

So can anyone that know alot about this write me the full script which makes the game run, gives me time like 1 or 2 minutes (So i can log in, inside the game) and then minimizes?

or a AutoHotkey or w/e u call it, that will let me minimize the game by pressing a hotkey with autoit.

thankz

Is the game running in full screen mode?

[Richard Robertson]

You should not ask people here to write full scripts. This whole forum is for support, not jobs.

Fullscreen games cannot be minimized because they use the screen device context directly. They aren't exactly windows, so they can't exactly be minimized.

With the game running try alt+enter and see what happens, if it switches to window mode(standard winminimize then) or minimizes then problem solved, otherwise above post applies.

i would try using the ctrl+esc key... this will bring up the start menu and you can go from there.

may the force be with you.
