Game switches back to desktop

Whenever I run a game, it switches back to the desktop where I have to
click on the game in the taskbar to get the game back. It doesn't
crash, it just switches. I have all the updated drivers and have turned
off the NOD32 as well. Any help here would be appreciated.

Hi

I am also having the same problem - can anyone help me fix it? I've just
bought a new PC with XP Media Centre and reinstalled a game that worked fine
on a previous machine.

Thanks

Run DXDiag and see if it complains of uncertified drivers; try lowering
graphics hardware acceleration, etc.. Also look at the computer
manufacturer site and the graphics card manufacturer site for different
drivers. Try upgrades, reference drivers, and drivers for other model
cards till you find one that works. Do a search at
http://groups.google.com entering the game and graphics card model for
more suggestions.
 
First course of action for any game issues, go to the vendor's
website and download/install "ALL" patches & updates for it.
