Game Alt-Tabs

Hi,

I've just installed AH, and every couple of minutes or so (flying offline) the game window suddenly minimizes itself to the taskbar, as if I pressed Alt-Tab (which I didn't). Pressing Alt-Tab restores the game window until next time a few minutes later. Any ideas?

TIA

Turn off any messenger services you have running in the background.

AFAIK messenger is turned off. However, when I'm not in the game I sometime note a window open and close too fast to see its title or contents. I guess this flashing windows minimizes AH whenever it pops up, but I don't have the faintest clue what makes it pop.
