    ok i don't know how this has happened, but when ever i am running a program that runs in full screen, it automatically minimizes to the task bar after a couple minutes. this is with any program, not just any individual one. i have no additional programs running when this happens. i was just wondering if there is a fix for this or what is wrong :(

    I saw two suggestions: update the drivers for your graphics card and check the running processes because something is stealing the focus from the program you are using that gets minimized.
