games minimizing

Randomface74 · 22 Nov 2009 at 15:28

anyone else having problems with games minimizing themselves, for maybe the past couple of weeks? wondering if some software update caused it, ive updated steam a few times, l4d2 came out, windows update, avg.

Its an AVG issue if your using that.

Quickest fix is open avg - tools - advanced settings - at the bottom untick 'enable gaming mode' - apply.

Hopefully its patched soon.

When using Steam games, go into the game properties and set the launch options to '-sw -noborder -fullscreen' which basically makes the game windowed, but fullscreen without a border (Identical how you currently view the game). Try it, alt-tabbing is so much faster!
