Counter Strike Source and Windows 7057

Hi Guys,

I love windows 7, just finished downloading build 7077 but there is one thing that is keeping me on XP right now. When I load up steam and start CSS, it loads perfect, but when I want to check my email or answer an MSN conversation I ALT+TAB out of CSS and onto my desktop. In XP I can continiously do this back and fourth, on 7 its the opposite. Once I ALT+TAB out of CSS, I can't get back in. It says the game is running but I can't get into it. I tried Windows+TAB and ALT+TAB, both show the game running but they won't load it, it just stays at the desktop home screen. Help!

Thanks

Are you running the 64 bit version of 7? That could be one of the reasons too

I do exactly that all the time running CSS ,and im on 7077 64bit ??
It works fine for me.

I have the exact same problem on build 7000 32-bit. On the window preview it just shows up as a black square.

Try either running it in a window or just shift+tab and use there ingame browser

Mine sometimes crashes not much though

Well, I should have clarified that I switch out to turn on my microphone, as I don't always have it/want to use it and there is a built-in mic.

I have had this same issue with Call of Duty World at War. Both 7000 and 7068 do this. Game works fine, but you alt-tab/Windows button to the desktop and it goes to the desktop. Totally normal. Then you try to get back in the game and it's just a black screen. That's it. Task Manager will show the game is still running, but you have to force quit it to re-open it again. This might be a bug with this specific game though.
