Hi, I have an extremely annoying problem with my computer/windows 7.
Whenever I play a game, it will mizimize very frequently by myself, and windows that I am typing in will always be deselcted by themselves aswell. Now get this, the first time it started happening, I did a clean install of windows 7 (only a new computer) and I decided I would pretty much remember everything I did since then to try and correct the problem if it happened again (which it did), I didn't write anything down, but anything important will probably be included. So, after the clean install, I installed the drivers for my wireless card and graphics card, changed some settings in the control panel (performance options, update options etc.) I installed (this is not in chronological order) Firefox, Java, Adobe Flash, and Steam (also installed a few games on Steam) I then played a bit of the game I installed (it all went smoothly although steam chat would often deselect itself but I wasn't too bothered by that. I woke up, turned the computer on, started installing a game on Steam and started generating some BitCoins, when I got home, and tried to play a game the same thing started happening, which I assure you is extremely frustrating, the last time it happened I had left the computer on the whole day generating bitcoins too so maybe that has something to do with it?
P.S. It happened the first time yestarday, and it was yesterday I did the clean install, and it started happening today again
:banghead: Also I just noticed the window only got delected once out of the whole time I was typing it and I saw that the internet connection was down! And sure enough when the internet was up is when stuff was being minimzed and deselcted! I just tried playing a game with the internet off and sure enough it was fine! So now the question is why is that happening and how do I stay connected to the internet without this happening? I don't even understand why being connected to the internet would do this?
My wirless network card is a TP-Link TL-WN851ND and I checked the settings and it how power save mode on, also I don't think I ever updated the drivers maybe that could be the problem? I'll try various things and keep checking back here for suggestions or maybe you have had experience with this before? I'll start by updating the drivers etc.
I'm starting to fell less frustrated already!
P.S.S My wirless card gets a really bad connection.
