Windows 7 I believe Windows 7 SP1 is causing my computer games to constantly minimize and crash. :'(
This didn't happen before SP1. I tried playing Ultimate Doom, Wolf 3d and GTA 3 (which I installed after SP1 sadly). I thought it was just GTA 3 being non 64 bit compatible but then I noticed other games I had were doing it as well. How can I fix this?- Dan50
