Switching from WoW screen to desktop

Well Ive nearly had my new Imac a week now and Im really happy with it, it feels a bit hot at times but Im thinking because its made of aluminium it will get rid of the heat no probs, and I had to change the keyboard and mouse to a Logitech gaming one as I play a lot of WoW and the small bluetooth one just does not cut it.

My question is, how do I switch between my WoW main screen and my desktop, I used to be able to Alt-Tab between screens but now I cant seem to do anything?

iMac Core i7 16GB ATI Radeon 4850, Mac OS X (10.6.3), Totally new mac user

Within WoW, Command-M switches between fullscreen and windowed mode. Once in windowed mode, you'll be able to command-tab back and forth.

There's also a maximized windowed mode that will support command-tab, but I haven't used that. Unless I'm raiding I've been fine in windowed mode.

Hi Lesco

I don't play WOW so I don't know if it totally takes over all the keyboard functions or not, but try F9 and then click on the window you want in front.

If you go to: System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces > Exposé and look at the All windows box, F9 should be the default for Exposé to show all windows.

If the game has taken over all keyboard functions, then your best bet is to search the WOW forum for help from others that play WOW in 10.6.3....
