   I do it all the time, even figured out how to get rid of the cursor ingame issue when it appears (re-alt tab until the Skyrim window has a border at the top, move the cursor there and then into the black and alt tab again into the game). Only problem I have is occasionally after alt-tabbing somehow ending up with my character's face completely black...

   No problems here when Alt Tabbing, but in New Vegas I do get a crash

   Nice! But let's be honest here. This picture needs a mouse cursor in the middle of it.

      But for what cost? You get that thing all uppin' your screens... I usually end up either restarting the game, or stop playing for a while :/
      
      
      SOMEONE (WHO KNOWS HOW) SHOULD FiX THIS!!!

      A trick that works for me 95% of the time is to bring up the ESC menu and the console menu before alt-tabbing. When you want to go back to the game, Control-Alt-Delete to bring up the task manager, right click Skyrim, and "Bring to Front."
      
      It's wacky convoluted, I know, but it works. 95% of the time.
