Usually this doesn't work well, running the game windowed might be worth a try. Also see the FAQ for more on this issue.

Darn, I was hoping this would work somehow. Wasn't expecting it to be easy...
I'm playing a game right now that doesn't run in windowed mode so I guess I'm SOL.

if your playing a graphics intensive game, then when you change focus your basically using your mouse to alt-tab thats all a focus change is anyway. If your playing these games, like UT2003 or halo etc. then you probably don't want to leave the game while it is running, as this can cause undo stress on the processor
