Ok, I know I'm not completely computer literate, but I'm stumped by this problem I've been having while trying to play bf2...

Basically during a game my pc randomly minimises battefield, dropping me back to windows, I can get straight back to the game easily enough but I have had countless deaths in the seconds it takes to get back into bf2, it sometimes happens every few minutes, sometimes not at all...

I have no idea what may be causing this... the only thing i have changed recently is my mouse and keyboard, but i dont see how they can be responsible...

HELP!!!

I often chuck myself to the desk when by accident I press a combination of keys Crying or Very sad

which are close to my ingame keys. Crying or Very sad

No its nothing that im doing, eg accidentally pressing the windows hotkey etc...
Its almost as if a program is starting/or trying to start and dropping me to windows... I had a similar problem with AOL spyware protection when it started a system scan... but i now have that disabled and my desktop is clean when i get minimised (as in there are no programs trying to start or running, except those that i have started)

XP event viewer should tell you - there is something else hidden in XP which tracks everything that you do but I cannot remember where it is hidden - I will think tomorrow when I am not half asleep.

I think I may have inadvertantly solved the problem...
It seems as if somehow my new wireless mouse was responsible, i have reattached my old mouse and had two minimise-free sessions on bf2... so the problem does seem to be solved, well at least i hope it has been.
