Which game, Alun, and can you give us some details on your system? What

it happens on any game i play command and conquer hoyles
battle field ect i have a nivda geforce which is current
with all updates too it i am in administrator and when it
goes too the tool bar sound also cuts out when you get it
back too full screen
 
Alun, thanks for the info. Go into Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event
Viewer and click on the Applications listing in the left panel. This will
reveal information in the right pane. Look for any yellow triangles with
exclamation points or red circles with white X's in them. You can click on
those, select Properties and see where the error is occurring which can lead
to a resolution.

Are you running all the updates for those programs? Running any of them
using Compatibility Mode (see Help and Support for details)? What sound
card do you have, and have you tried reducing the hardware acceleration on
it?
