Could you post some screenshots of your issue?

It sounds like a common relic bug but I'm not sure. There's not crash files associated with it IIRC.

Could be the nasty one where if you are right clicking to decide a direction for a squad to face and the squad dies while you do it. Then you can't unselect/select anything and you have to alt-tab or click and press stuff randomly till it stops.

What is your native language? Maybe it will be easier to communicate in that form if we have someone available whom speaks your primary language.

OH! Now I think I know the bug you speak of. This happens in Vcoh sometimes too. Normally to fix it, I'd either click the Menu button or Alt + Tab out of the game and back in to see if it works.

Doesn't the mouse turn into a weird box with lots of black and colors?

And no, your English is very good :) I suggested maybe we have someone translate incase you have trouble understanding or you're using Google Translator. But we can understand you well, or at least I can xD

Yes the point of mouse change "graphic image" like you are saying. I cant  minimize becuase when I maximize the resolution of game change -.-'' It is my problem I dont know how fix it. Also when I exit the game the point of mouse still are bugged in Windows I fixed it retarting pc.

I dont use Google translator, I use Wordreference, a great online diccionary ^^ If somebody  speak spanish  will be more easy too.

Only play Eastern Front mod, I havent played vCoH for a long time. I apologize for the inconvenience if is a vCoH bug

Go to settings, change your resolution to a lower one and save it. After that, go to graphic settings once more and change your resolution to what used to be and save it.

That should fix the "resolution change when swapping windows app(aka hitting alt+tab or a similar shorcut)".
