[0957] Hold the Alt tab

Post by xambone »

Id like to think this is correct area on forums. I have a problem where i am playing the game and it Minimizes alot. I mean its not Crash to desktop but maybe its related. When I am pressing W to move forward I minimize most often

Check for adwares, I had one and it minimized game ramdomly.
And close all your unneeded programs.

It could also be a legit program that forces other apps to minimize to get your attention, I know an anti-virus update prompt always forced my game to minimize when it popped up.

Ditto to Outlawz reply.
My AV would cause the game to minimize randomly until I set up some permissions and stuff for it.
Best line yet...

Maybe it's your keyboard. Test with a different one.

I had problems with this before xam it was my anti-virus that would popup messages minimizing PR. I know that Skype, FireFox, Internet Explorer, AIM, Windows updates also do this. I'm willing to bet thats its your anti-virus software or windows updates. I would check your anti-virus settings for an option thats 'Disable Update Messages' or something similar. I would also try to only have PR open when you do this so you can test for sure.
