Hi,

Here's my problem. When I'm playing a game, all of a sudden it will minimize to the taskbar. I already ran various scans with Adaware, Spybot S&D, and AVG. I also tried reinstalling the video card driver and directx. I'm running windows XP SP2.

No, I usually play Final Fantasy 7 and you use the numpad for that.

I'm also having this problem. Temps are fine and all the scans have ran and come back clean. It just recently started happening though so maybe a patch from microsoft. That's my best guess. Plus i have no background apps running. Just whats always been there. And no windows key, i have it turned off via the G15 toggle on the keyboard. It's not life threatening but very annoying, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pressing shift rapidly?

Sticky windows key?

Zonealarm alerts?

Anything running in your sys tray that may cause pop ups?
