This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets
Default Game ALT TABs By Itself
I wonder if anybody else has had this happen to them,for no apparent reason and at no particular series of circumstances,my game ALT TABs itself down to the taskbar.When I click on it the game restarts normally and runs happily for various random lengths of time before doing it again.
I,ve tried a clean install,checked video card drivers etc,but still no joy.Any ideas
would be much appreciated :confused:

Do you have any background tasks, like anti-virus software running in the background? If so, close it. This might be what's causing the game to close to taskbar. Just remember to re-enabled the software when you're done playing.

Check the background programs, spyware, etc. Or run the game in window mode instead.

Your computer may be adjusting your virtual memory also. You usually get a prompt when it does though. Also if you have a pop up blocker they can mess with games at odd times.

I had this happen once, and I found out that I had a cool web virus on my pc.
