Hey,
when I play my games (The Restaurant, FIFA 2003, 1602
A.D.) every 5-10 min the game will minimize into the
taskbar, forcing me to click, which drives me mad. I've
been looking at other responses to other people, but I've
tried everything (Updates, "the rule of thumb") and it
just doesn't work.
I have:
GeForce MX 100/200
Integrated RAMDAC
32MB
BIOS 3.11.01.48.00
Version: 4.5.2.3
Please help.
 
If you have SP1 and Direct X 9.0 installed the 60 hertz problem should not
occur with Direct X based games. This situation however still occurs with
Open GL and the only sure fix for that that I'm presently aware of is this
program:

I have both DX 9.0b and SP1 and I had the problem of refresh rates knocking
down to 60 Hz and staying that way when I quit the game. I got a refresh
rate lock from the Web and all is OK now.
 
Just borrowed a Chaintech Geforce 3 TI 200 from my m8 to
try it in my system, and the problem is still occurring.
This one has my stumped im afraid.

Wish I could return to Windows ME, didnt have any
problems with graphics with that.
 
I think i have sorted out this problem. I have a Trust
Silverline Direct Access keyboard with software installed
to setup the keys. I un-installed the software and guess
what. All my games now work no problem at all. No more
minimising to the taskbar.
Very strange conflict, and I would like to know how it is
possible for keyboard software to conflict with graphics
cards.
