When I play games, or use any program at all, it will randomly minimize everything.
I can hear clicking sounds through the speakers when it minimizes, and sometimes i hear several 'clicks'.
It's really annoying me now, does anyone know what it might be and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Check for virae or spyware. Might be something dodgy that's doing it.

Sounds like popups that are coming up but then being closed by IE.

A-Squared seems pretty good, maybe give that a go?

I turned the IE popup blocker off and now I get loads of popups in firefox.
A-Squared didn't seem to fix it either :(

The last 2 may just be programs you use i am not familiar with but google doesnt turn up much.

Hijack this is pretty self explanitory and easy to use if you know what to look for. The basic rule of thumb is if you dont use it, you damn well dont need it. Google any file and you should be able to find some information about it such as whether its cosha or malware. If it isnt listed anywhere it probably isnt needed. Also be aware that removing entries using hijackthis may not solve the problem as it is not a conclusive solution more a detection tool. Unless you can find specific removal tools be sure to do a good sweep of all infections software, both files and registry entries.
