A couple of games (Diablo2 and Counter strike) have
suddenly started inexplicably returing to windows every so
often for no reason as if the windows button had been
pressed. I can't think of any software we've installed
recently that would have caused this... any ideas?
 
Hi Matt,

Make sure you're not hitting the Start button by mistake! ;-)
If you're sure then...
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.
