    So, not really g37 related, however it is occurring on my g37 with windows 7 (thought I'd keep it in the family). At times during game play windows search window will randomly open up, thus minimizing my StarCraft 2 window...very annoying mid-mission! Any clues as to what's going on? is this a software issue or a hardware one?
    Also, it will not happen at all for sometime, and then will happen back to back to back at others.

    Do you maybe have configured it to one of your mouse buttons? Logitech often does this automatically (if you have a Logitech mouse).

    ??? G37 ????

    is that on purpose or did you mean G73?


    You need to pay attention to when the window pops up and find the key/button that is causing it.

    Also starcraft 2 has a disable windows key option in in the options, i would turn that on because thats a key I hit sometimes, not sure if thats the problem your having but I am thinking it probably is.
