Alt+Tab during games w/ Windows 7

Since I'v been using Win7 , I'v been having trouble with Alt+Tabbing during games

Say I alt+tab to my desktop while playing TF2,it can take up to a whole minute before it goes back to my game

Its really frustrating when playing games that requires your constant presence (HoN/DotA/LoL,FPS,etc.)

I have 4G of RAM,so it should be plenty enough for run a game + browser + MSN :oops:

Any of you guys the same problem and found a solution?

No.

Only game I remember alt-tabbing is BFBC2. It would go into windowed mode and run in the background.

I barely get any delay when alt tabbing and i'm on a cheap shitty laptop.

Btw I'm not saying that I cant Alt+Tab,it just it takes forever to get back to the game once I Alt+Tabbed.
