    Well, if its happening every 20-30 minutes, its obvious there is an application taking focus. Have you tried playing the game in Windowed mode? That would give you a better idea if its the game, or an application causing the issue.

    Are you using AVG antivirus version 9, by any chance?
    This problem has been rife on the AVG Free Forum ... over the past few weeks.

    Thanks for finding that glitch.

    I've seen people posting that the browser keeps minimizing. Now I will think to ask if they are currently running AVG v9.
