games minimises always.

[sujeet2555]

i have win7.every games minimises to desktop,it just minimise not crashes.i can maximise it to get back it the game but it then minimises.it's just so frustrating.
i have asked it in other forums also ,googled it but i can't get any satisfactory answer. from that experience i firstly tell you that i have no spyware or viruses.i can tell it since it occurs on freshly installed os .i was having winxp on that system previously but this type of problem doesn't occur .
no other program running in background.i have comodo antivirus which is off and in game mode.this problem doesn't occur after a fresh restart but after running the system for some time this problem arises.

^^
System configuration please.

Weird problem.

Did you installed any apps from the HDD after installing fresh OS? If yes, then try installing SpyBot Search&Destory, and perform a thorough check. If, No, then..

Provide your Configuration, name of the game. If possible, exact time after the launch at which you are facing the minimizing problem.

dude first check if any of your ketboard keys such as "esc" or "tab" are not stuck.

since you said it occurs few minutes after the system restart therefore pls check this first.
or might be a win7 problem.
try installing from a different source.the problem generally seems of a third party program which opens automatically whenever you try to run any application.mostly it might be a virus or malware.

have you installed any shift patch or crack to your computer??????

[thetechfreak]

firewall may minimise it

@OP, check what quanchi advised.

The graphics driver may crash. Check the reliability history in Action Center. If this is the problem, update you graphics driver.

Else, close any unnecessary background processes before starting the game.

my configuration:
AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 AMD Phenom(tm) 9650
Windows 7 Ultimate
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

my keys are not stuck as this problem goes away after a restart.

download these two & do a thorough scan of your PC, not just system drive. looks like a virus problem than that of H/W.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware & Emsisoft Antimalware

[Piyush]

looks like Windows key is stuck in

First try to disable these two from task manager.If still it persists try to disable winnit.exe.

Note:-do at your own risk.

my games are running fine now but i haven't disabled wmiprvse.exe .i have checked it using process manager 1.2.i don't think those are the reasons.however i do have disabled some services.let me see if this ok condition last longer.if i encounter the same problem ,i will report back.
thx for the help.

I think comodo's game mode was creating the prob - if you face the issue again - uninstall comodo and see if your games are running without minimize issue.
