    All I can think of is making sure those 2 keys arn't assigned / not used within the game itself ? If they are that will most likely be the prob, most fps games use the tab key for objectives on a level

    yeh tab is assigned to scorecard, but its strange that it should make it blank screen instead either working/showing score.

    also it does it on the main menu, when no game is loaded, and still blank screens.

    just one of those annoying things i suppose.

    having said that it works fine in doom3. and tab is the pda gizmo in that.

    The computer can't cope with running CS:S and other stuff. It works fine at the menu but takes time in a game.

    Did you post in the wrong thread? It could be me but I can't see what this has to do with the prior posts in this thread

    I do it all the time. I still have tab as scorecard, and I use alt for activating the mic in teamspeak. It changes from game to desktop quickly enough, but takes a bit longer doing the opposite.

    The strange thing is that you seem to have the same system specs as me, just with a different type of memory.

    You saw your screen goes blank? How long have you left it before giving up and restarting or something?

    I can't think what else it might be. My CPU's at 2.07 instead of the normal 1.91, but I wouldn't have thought that would make much of a difference would it?

    Works fine for me, although it's a bit slow getting back into CS:S and sometimes the textures mess up.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Had this problem in other games. In those games it was due to the fact that my game resolution was the same as my desktop and that was causing some crap. Don't know if it will work but its worth a try.
