can't open minimized windows

[reddevild271]

Whenever I open a program it automatically minimizes and is put on the
taskbar. But when I try to Maximize it it won't. I clicked on the program
with my right mouse button and the only option is always close.

Please help! I would really like to play my game.

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.

Look for drivers and utilities at these sites:

See if there's a BIOS upgrade for your system. Look at the
manufacturer's site, Compaq, PB, etc., and also at the motherboard
manufacturer's site.
