Please help me as this is driving me crazy! How do I
alter windows so that when I'm in a frag-tastic match of
unreal tournament, the game doesnt suddenly minimise
itself to the menu bar because someone has decided to
send me an AIM (just one example). I mean I can't get
past 4 mins into the game without something wanting my
attention or some multi-tasking on the processors part
causing problems. This has happened with every program
ive ever used so the easiest thing ive done is to put it
in a window which i don't want to do.

Please help!!

Create a user account called "gamer" and then only run the
minimum services and applications in that user account
needed for the game.

No AIM, chat, email, whatever.

Did you ever think of turning the IM software off while your playing a game?
If your going to be playing, just close all other applications.
The game will run better that way.
