Launcher Bug

Hi. When I click the wizard launcher when I go to play, I sometimes minimize it to go do other things while I wait for it to load. When I minimize it, it won't let me back on the launcher or close it down. This is really annoying as I have to restart my computer. Is it just my computer is it something that other people have experienced?

Yes. The Launcher HATES to be minimized. It's really quite annoying. You can open task manager to close the launcher instead of restarting the whole computer.

Do CTRL+ALT+DEL (press all three buttons on the keyboard at the same time and it's delete not backspace.)

This opens up a menu click "task manager"

This opens task manager you then can click on Wizard101 and then "End Task" this will close the Wizard101 launcher without having to shut down the entire system. (You can use this trick for a number of other programs too.)

Yeah, sorry to hear that you're having the same issue as me, but good luck in Wizard101!

Yeah. That happens to me all the time. Next time, just keep it up before clicking your web browser. I guess your computer is just trying to do too much at a time.

Wow thanks! This really helps because my computer is terrible and sooooo long to reboot. Thanks for the help!

Will there ever be a fix for this? Because I've got Wizard on 3 different computers and it happens on all three?
