Game Minimize to Task Bar for No Apparent Reason

S

While playing certain cd games they minimize themselves
to the task bar for no apparent reason. Some games will
restore themselves if I double click on them while others
won't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure U are not accidentally hitting the WIN Key on the keyboard during frantic game
play!

U can grab a freebie program called "I Hate That Key" to disable the Win key (the key with
flying windows logo on it)

Make sure the video adaptor card has latest drivers as well as your Motherboard.

Check that nothing is trying to access the internet (spyware) or something else is
"running", as most high end games need almost everything turned off. Check your Scheduled
events to make sure Disk Defrag or Virus scan is not starting, as that will cause anything
running full screen (like a game) to minimise.

Next time it happens, do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and check what is "running" under the Applications
Tab
