Laptop Freezes when switching apps.

Hi Guys,

I've been using this site for a long long time but never really thought about posting... UNTIL NOW.

I have recently purchased a new laptop and obviously the first thing I did was install FM
On my old laptop I used to play FM windowed but on the new laptop I've just been playing it full screen and rather like it. Only problem is, when I press the windows key to switch apps to use the internet or what not it often freezes my whole laptop. Could anyone tell me if this is common, a problem with windowed or something to do with windows 8??

Help please because this is getting rather frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

This certainly shouldn't be happening, i play in full screen mode on Windows 8.1 and can switch between apps easily, does it freeze if you switch between aps using CTRL and Tab?

I'm not too sure to be honest, I only switched windows with the windows key.

It does it when I'm out of the game and try to return to FM. I'm really new to this windows 8 malarky.
