Arma 2 tabs out to desktop, won't let me tab back

[knar33 158]

I have a problem that happens maybe once a month, starting a few months ago. It always happens when I'm in a vehicle, and mostly in flying vehicles. Basically what happens is I'm forced to my desktop, but the client is still running and I can hear sounds still. When I try to alt-tab it gives me a black screen for a second then goes back to the desktop. The first time it happened I was being stalked by 2 hackers who were just teleporting in front of my motorcycle but not shooting at me. I assumed it was something done by hackers, but this most recent time I was the only player online at the time so that can't be it. It has caused me a death and a crashed plane and chopper, I really need to fix this issue.

I have tried searching for answers but didn't find any threads about this particular issue. If anyone has had the same problem or if a thread already exists, please point me in the right direction. I am my group's designated pilot so I really need to get this under control.

I run the game through the arma 2 OA beta patch, occasionally through Dayz Commander (this most recent time I launched from the beta patch). I purchased the game retail from amazon. I run patch version 1.62.99806 at the moment.

It's mostly a gpu driver problem..if you have the newest driver deactivate Windows Aero. I had a similar problem when i used the changing desktop background and it always kicked me out of the game, after that it never did it again.
