Your flying along and all of a sudden, the screen turns black and you next find yourself on the Windows Desktop,  you can click back on the AH icon and your back in the game?  Anyone have that problem.  It happened to me twice tonight.

Traveler, make sure you dont hit the Windows key by accident.

Check for spyware/malware.

Also, autoupdater, AV, firewalls can do this. Check your processes in task manager for anything that might be suspicious and or could demand for attention regularly.

In Tech support are a few threads on the same subject, you might find useful ideas there.
