I have this weird problem in Widows XP SP2. When I launch
some of the games, or while within the game, it will
switch back to the desktop, the game is still running but
it is minimized. I have latest drivers and so on. As the
test I got Microsoft certified drivers and it worked for
the day but now it is back. This does happens on different
games. I have NVIDIA Ti4600.

This is generally caused by 3rd party applications running in the
background, make sure to close anything non-system. Some keyboard software
springs to mind as one which was quite common to be doing this.

Thx, I might have found the problem. I have disabled my
keyboard software and it seems to be working fine. My
question is why this will only happen with certain games?
