Minimize problem

[Eskemoenn]

Every single time i play wc3, or mapping for it, it keeps f**king minimizing the game or the editor, and its really freaking me out!
anyone ever had that problem before?

its like i am testing my rpg, but everytime i open the game it minimizes after 5seconds!

please help!

The only thing I can think that causes that to happen, or any program to minimize, is if there are background programs running. Try closing your background programs (virus scanner, daemon tools, sound utility etc) until the problem goes away, and if it doesn't, then it's obviously not a background util. In that case, try reinstalling the game and see if that works.

I know that even leaving an open folder in the background causes my cs 1.6 to minimize constantly so make sure no other programs have open windows when you play.

Hope this helps

I "sort" of had your problem. But it wasn't connected to warcraft in any way.

I had a program called "Smart Board" and its program to control options on a computer through this board, it looks like a marker white board you see in schools and stuff.

Anyway while that program was active, everything I used to do were to deselect and minimize. I uninstalled the program some time ago, but I remember having to turn the program off from the quick launch bar everytime I was doing something.

Check your programs. If there is some program like that, turn it off from the quick launch bar, task manager before you start wc3. Some programs like auto-click, macro or programs that use different auxiliary display, like my touch board.

My everything is minimizing including cs, and when i am making cs maps aswell, everything is minimizing, and it aint the background programs, cause i tried closing them several times without any progress.

Sooo... i got really no clue whats causes this...
