Hi all I wasnt really sure where to post this but here goes... sometimes... not everytime I play battlefied 3 on my sig pc.

The game will minimze to a large window on the desktop. It carries on running but I have no control (so usually I get shot) its driving me crazy! I have to click on the window to go full screen again then it will happen maybe 20-30 seconds later again, I have to restart computer, try again and sometimes it works fine then I can play for hours, other times it just keeps on doing it ..

Im using the latest drivers from nvidia..

I dont know why this keeps happening and why it only happens sometimes.

any help would be most apprieciated

just origin .. and I had skype at some points but I turned off all notifications ect and sometimes it happens just after starting up battlefield nothing else running .. doesnt happen with other games such as black ops, starcraft 2, ut3

Try using a different browser for origin?

Sounds odd but try it.

must just be a game bug then if you have nothing running.

this also happened to me a few times since I installed it yesterday. I had to ctrl+alt+del then stop it running, then start again. I am using firefox. Maybe it is just a bug. I just finished the Normal Campaign today, I started last night. Now it's time for multi player.

Very odd....sounds like hot keys being assigned or something to me. Something is causing it to minimize, though I think you are looking along the right lines.

I would try and eliminate the following:

- Eliminate browser issues, try Google Chrome
- Any devices plugged in causing interferance..e.g. Joystick
- Eliminate keyboard playing up
- Eliminate any hotkeys assigned in Origin application

Hope it helps,
