Windows 7 Minimizing videos game problem.

[facefullz]

Hello !

My problem :

When I'm minimizing a full screen video-game, I can't re-open it. This problem appear on all my video game but not with my Internet browser or other programs who are not full screen. I have not changed anything on my computer and this problem has appeared today.

Thanks for help !

Of course, first thing, try to restore the computer to a date before this happened.

How are you trying to maximize?
Did you try ALT-TAB?

ALT - TAB doesn't work too... I'll try to restore my pc.

After my restore the same problem appear... Each time I'm minimizing my full screen game to check my desktop or something... I need to close completely et re-start it.... !

Some solutions:

Make sure the game is maximized, right-click a blank spot on the taskbar and
select "Cascade Windows". Then right-click again and select "Undo Cascade".

While you have the game open, make sure that no other window is open like Firefox or IE. Then try.

Don't have itunes or skype running in the background.

Don't run the console. (If you don't know what this means, you don't have it running).

Are you sure that your computer has the minimum graphic specifications needed for the game?

Here's something from a forum:
1) Press Start Button
2) Select Run
3) Type in msconfig
4) Go To services
5) Hide all Services by microsoft
6) Disable all services after that
7) This should fix your problem.

Right click on the shortcut and choose properties, make sure it isn't set to run
minimized.
