When I don't move my mouse for a time of 5-60 seconds my window will minimize, which is espcially annoying if I'm in a game, because it will cause the game to minimize so I have to go back into it. Anyone ever had this problem / know how to fix it? I've had it for a couple months and don't know how to fix it. I'd try re-installing the Nvidia driver but I can't figure out how to uninstall it first. Anyone know anything?

You can turn it off somewhere in vista. do you have a laptop?

No, a self built computer. Its not that the windows like Firefox go small, just they grey out as if you click out of them.

Still the same reason check your power options. Your driver uninstall should be at the remove programs in control panel. If all fails it is either faulty software or a virus. There is also the power supply if it is enough to mantain your computer and all. Is it a laptop?

I Never Got This Problem, Must Be A Setting You Put On.

Could try updating your mouse driver and check mouse settings.

Too bad XP can't use 4GB RAM though :(

Also too bad I have vista. If I do XP, do I have to reinstall every item in there? That might actually work though, because I have an external hard drive I could just move all my saved games onto and them move them back.

Windows XP is better than Vista. I think...

Yes definitely! :scared:

Vista takes up more space and 100x your RAM. I suppose it's ok because Vista supports more RAM, but then you also have to buy it.

Don't give in to the system!

Hmm, I have a self built PC as well, and am running vista.
I've never had this problem. System specs?
Vista updates?
