    So, pretty much every game lately that I've run on my laptop has been minimizing itself after startup or saving game. Example. I press save in company of heroes, boom the game minimizes, it still saves, but not sure why the minimizing is occuring, same thing with WoW. I load up a character and boom minimize or login, minimize. Not sure why this is happening =/.

    I run an AW M17 with vista 64.

    Umm... I dunno, just maybe check your shortcut properties to be sure it's not set to run minimized? :eek:
