PC minimizes a game, or deselects the current running program and spend at the office

My computer has recently begun to reduce an online game I've been playing, or clear the program (browser, word etc. package) who is running. It does not reduce the program, it puts just in the background. I don't know if it's connected, but my internet provider have a problem with the modem drop connection.

Hi JMMacar,

1. this happens with only a particular game?

2. what browser do you use?

3. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

Since it is a recent issue, you can try a system restore to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.

Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

Any advice on how to fix this? I have Windows Vista 64 bit

It was before I formatted and installed fresh win and there's now too. I've seen other threads with people who say they have this problem with no solution. Help, please!

  • Qosmio G30-153 stops and restarts when you try to run programs and games

    I bought inscribed in the computer of 22 days ago. After 4 days of work without problem the laptop started to plant a blue screen, mainly with the "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" error

    Very often when you try to play a 3D game or using any program (internet browser, file manager or almost). As the Blue error screen is essential to the system, the computer restarts by itself, but even more often an (specific to the program or to a standard error window

    Can you please tell us what games you have preinstalled and programs? Description of your problem is quite general and it is not possible to have any concrete indication that may be the problem. For some time, I have G30 and operating system runs very stable with standard applications such as Microsoft Office, Skype, Icq, MSN messenger and IE7 with LAN and WLAN connection.

    Up to now, I really didn't notice any problem. Because of this, I really want to know what programs you're using.

    Running Windows 7 of the month last x 64

    (1) for some reason when I go to my windows then system32 folder that I can't seem to deny read and run all programs. Whenever I click on one that he told me that I have insufficient rights or unauthorized, or something? Am I suppose to do this in safe mode? Can anyone else help. ? Thank you

    (2) when I create a backup .iso disk for my windows will work this disc remember all my settings as my antivirus and all it's settings? Or will I have to start again all settings and re - block all programs that I've blocked, also will be things like the refusal to read and run always blocked programs out there or I have to go back and do that too if I were to ever get a virus and need to format and reinstall?

    I just tried to burn the image on a disk. I have a 4.7 GB dvd. And it is at halfway and was told that there is not enough space? At the beginning of this one, I got a box pops up telling me to format the drive? I formatted and got to halfway through and says not enough space on the disk. How it does not stand on a dvd?

    Burn pictures to DVD is a bad, bad idea. Here's why:

    • DVDs are generally medium to small. You need anything between 5 and 20, depending on the amount of user data you store on the system partition.
    • You can't delete the old images.
    • Burned DVD suffers from "DVD rot". Their reliability in the medium term is rather moderate. If you use 10 DVD and you want to restore an image a couple of years now, so it is a good chance that one of them is flawed, making the whole set unusable.
    The solution? Use a disk of 500 or 1000 GB in a USB enclosure. It's the perfect answer to all the problems listed above.

  • iTunes game to change the order of my selections in the subfolders

    Recently, when I open iTunes on my laptop, playlists in all folders appear in alphabetical order, which suits me very well. However, when the program connects to iCloud he proceeds to scramble the order of selections of files, which is an obstacle for me. Is there a way I can get them all listed alphabetically while remaining connected with iCloud?
