Games Minimize During Gameplay And Will Not Maximize
Jan 20, 2013
I am having an issue with Battlefield 3, Counter Strike Source and other games minimizing within 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay. The game is still running but I can not maximize it. This is a nonstop issue and I have not been able to play any games for longer then 5 to 10 minutes.I recently built this desktop computer a couple of days ago. AMD 6200 6 core, MSI G70 mobo, g skill 2x 8gb memory, two MSI R6850 Cyclone OC in Crossfire mode and a tagan 1100 watt PSU.I have tried using original drivers, updated drivers, disabling windows aero, stopping start up programs, running registry cleaners, diagnostics, everything.

figure out why when he plays games (particulary atm Diablo III and Borderlands 2) the screen will go black or minimize his game for less then a second and then come back.I have gone over 2 major things and I can not confirm they were ALL done correctly but I am pretty sure they were (hes in Texas im in Vermont)I did the followingtried having the games run in window full screen mode100% removed all his video card drivers and re installeddid a selective start up in MS config to only have Microsoft services running am running out of idea, none of these worked.He is using a HDMI cable to a TV as a monitor, im not a fan of this setup and it could be the issue but he doesnt have a monitor to swap out.

this whole thang about Win7 changing of the right click options is killing me. I've checked through several pages to see if anybody had the same annoyance that I have, but I didn't see anythang.
Does anybody know how to change the right click options? Example, If I have Internet Explorer open and I'm at [URL] and I open up several links in a new windows, when I right click it says close, pin/unpin, and a couple of other useless options. Has anybody figured out a way to get the maximize/minimize options back?
I use IE and FF and IE never opens up in full browser mode except in the initial launch bcuz I changed the properties, but opening up in new links are always in the small windows.

Everytime I'm using my computer or playing a game it does it. In games it minimizes the game after some minutes, and keeps doing it all the time, and I can't really play.. I don't know what to do, I've looked at soooo many websites. And right now when I'm writing after 30 sec or something like that it "unfocusses" like another program is opened and then I need to click in this writing box again, to write... It's freakin annoying, and I don't know what to do...

I experienced some flashing/flickering/blinking of the screen while I was playing The Sims 3.I know the game has overheated graphics cards in the past, so I'm concerned; thankfully, Christmas is coming up if I need a new card.

My recently purchased Laptop, a Lenovo IdeaPad v570 (1066CLU), has been having problems with the display driver.After a minute or so of gameplay using the NVIDIA driver, my audio starts to stutter for a few seconds, and finally, it blue screens with "Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed", and something about nvlddmkm.sys. Sometimes the BSoD doesn't even show up. I tried downgrading to the Lenovo recommended driver from the latest build, but I'm still having the same issue.On some occasions, it doesn't BSoD, so I can alt-tab and see the message:"Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered".Even if games are running smoothly, they still have issues. One example is Team Fortress 2, but If I disable the NVIDIA driver in Device Manager, the Intel one works fine, with a worse framerate. Pretty weird. I have both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and GeForce 525M driver versions supplied by the manufacturer (Lenovo).

First off lemme give you a few specs of my computer in case you can determine right off what the problem is
Gateway - model GT5656
AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3GHz
3GB RAM
GeForece 8600 GT graphics
Wide screen HD monitor currently at 1440 x 900 resolution
Okay now the problem is when i play Crysis even on MEDIUM i get laggy/choppy gameplay and i checked the fps (this was a long time ago) i don't remember what they were but just that they were skipping around. I don't know that much about gaming but i figured more ram might help, plus i wanted more ram regardless because my downloads are only like 400kb/s.
I already ordered enough ram so that my total will be 6GB. Yes i know that i will have to take the other stick out bla bla bla i already calculated that. I'm not 100% sure how good quality it is but this is what i bought: 2GB PC4200 533MHz DDR2 SINGLE STICK 2GB PC-2 4200 RAM - eBay (item 130315129371 end time Jul-26-09 01:02:12 PDT)
Anyways getting to the point, tomorrow i will have enough to buy another one of those to have a total of 7GB ram is it worth it? will a 1GB increase even help that much? (and yes I'm running 64 bit)

I downloaded a portable tweaking app from here and the window opens larger than my display so that the bottom of the window (where the buttons to "apply" the tweaks are) is off the screen. The maximize button is grayed out and no moving handles appear when I move the cursor to the window borders. I cannot find a way to maximize the window or resize it.

Is there any way to maximize wmc and not have it go full screen?
I.e. when I click the maximize button, it goes to full screen mode - is this normal behavior? I just want it to maximize like any other app would (not cover the task bar and still have the title bar at the top).

i installed win7 64bit (home) on my pc less than a month ago and have had trouble with streaming videos ever since. whenever i maximize a Internet or any other streaming video, it will freeze, minimizing the video fixes the problem (video itself never stops, i can hear the audio working the entire time), the freeze never happens when minimized.
i run an ahtlon ii 250, geforce 250gts (latest nvidia drivers) on a gigabyte 785 board.

I have a program (Virtual DJ) which up until recently has worked fine, but now opens minimized on the task bar and will not maximize. Task manager shows program is running. PC is a laptop which is not set up for multiple display so window is definitely not open on wrong screen.

I'll start with system spec's to be sure I do not forget to post them after explaining:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3ghz
4GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-Bit OS
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
I also run Dual Monitors, the monitors are the exact same model (which i do not have with me currently and don't think would matter, if needed i can get it)
(If need any more info let me know, I'll reply with it asap)
Now for the problem...
I have been using Windows 7 64-bit without a single problem on this machine since Windows 7 was released. Ever since then I have had no problems doing, well really anything until about 2 weeks ago. I usually play video games on my main screen whilst watching movies/streaming tv on the 2nd screen. The stuttering is constant when watching streaming videos in full screen mode, even when doing absolutely nothing else on my computer. If the video is not in full screen mode it plays fine. If I pop the streaming video out of the browser and F11 it to make it full screen that way it does not stutter at all this way either. I do not believe it to be a bandwidth/internet connection issue though as I also encounter problems when watching movies from my hard drive. The movies from hard drive issue is not exactly the same though. When watching a movie from my hard drive and playing a game the audio and video will skip about half a second every 4-5 seconds instead of a constant stutter. However if I am not playing a game or doing anything else on my computer the videos will play fine. I have updated my video card drivers and the audio drivers as well as bios on my computer but am still having the same issue.

I love ObjectDock and I love the taskbar too.I made the taskbar autohide but..When I maximize any programs it will occupy full screen, can I maximize a program but it will not occupy full screen? What I mean is.. it will maximize AS IF the taskbar is not hidden.Very annoying when I try to click on the minimize, maximize, close etc.. as the autohide will appear when I move over my mouse. Or maybe I can set the delay for the taskbar to appear?

I have a client who had a problem on his Windows Explorer in windows 7 64 bit. When he opens the windows explorer, it will show on the taskbar but it will not show on the screen. When he click on it, it will also open. Right click on it but no option to maximize or restore. The same problem with the task manager. But there's no problem opening other applications.

When I click on the systray to remove the usb, there's no list of usb devices as there should be, but "..." instead. And together with this problem, when I click a folder to open, the window is small, it can't automatically maximize.

when I launch certain (not all) apps (including notepad) they stay minimized in the taskbar. I can click on them and the taskbar item acts as if something happened, but it's as if it displayed on a different screen. I have tested all the borders of my 2 screens and cannot find it, however I don't know how to 'move' active windows as I did in XP.
