When this happens my eq screen goes black and only returns if I fullscreen eq. I can then go back to windowed. The issue is sometimes this crashes the game.

Possibly eq play nice is a fix but I find it makes my game feel sluggish even if it is locked at a higher fps.

You simply have to change your UAC settings so they don't dim out your computer when it prompts you.

Move it to the second from the last security setting; it's not going to put you at any more risk, it's just that it wont grab your attention as easily by blacking everything else out, so they consider it a lower security setting.

Also, shift+enter to pop it into full screen and then shift+enter again to back out of full screen will often fix it, however toggling Fullscreen also causes crashes in my client, cannot speak for you on this matter though
Make User Account Control (UAC) Stop Blacking Out the Screen in Windows 7 or Vista
