Ok so here is my issue,

when i start a game it will run for a few seconds but then i will be taken back to my desktop as if i have tabbed out but the game stays open?

if i try to click the game again to play it, again it runs for a few seconds then just takes me back to the desktop?

i hope someone can help! Thanks, Alfie

• Do you have problems with any other software (even is it is not the same symptom)?
• Are all of the games Win 7 compatible?
• Is there something that typically happens a few seconds after loading a game (it tries to display something, initiates some sounds, starts some animation, goes looking for a resource)?
  
• Is there anything in common across the games that happens right before you get bounced out?
  
• For a given game, does it always happen at exactly the same point in the game startup sequence?
  
• Are these interactive games that involve another player on a network or Internet connection?
  
• Do you do any form of input before being bounced out (enter something on the keyboard, move a pointing or control device)?
• Have you verified that the graphics and sound drivers are current?
• Does any kind of graphics enhancement get loaded at bootup?
• Do you have any keyboard hot keys active or any form of alternate keyboard assignment or alternate input active?
