Hi,
Did reinstalling the game help, or did you only install the patch?
In anycase, experiment with different in game / desktop resolutions
as it's possible that the problem won't exist if you match your
desktop resolution to the in game resolution. The trick of course
if this theory has merit is to find which resolution is the best to use. ;-)

| Well, this didn't work either. I installed the latest
| MOHAA patch I could find (2.15), even downloaded drivers
| which are supposedly "optimized" for my Radeon 9800. Got
| them from:
http://www.omegacorner.com. Nada. I did
| notice I could duplicate the minimizing situation if,
| while in the game, I quickly sweep my mouse pointer over
| to the left. When I do that a white mouse arrow appears
| in the upper left of the screen (which shouldn't happen).
| If I then click either mouse button, the game will
| minimize. I could duplicate it time after time. If,
| after sweeping, I then just moved the mouse towards the
| white arrow in the upper left, it would go away. If I
| then clicked, it wouldn't minimize. Man, this is driving
| me crazy!
