Title: AH failing to maximize after being minimized..
Post by: Wingnutt on July 26, 2008, 07:59:50 PM

this is a new problem for me..

about 1 time out of 3, if i minimize the game, I cant get it to come back up.. I have to right click on it and close it and restart it..

it just sits there on the task bar, and will not come back up.

Running Vista64

TIR4 PRO

Ventrillo.

That would be an operating system issue.  If you are running the Aero interface on Vista, then this type of problem could occur.

Sure you have.  Vista changes more often than any OS Microsoft has ever shipped.  You cannot stop it from changing.  The longer it runs the more it changes.

Guys, Microsoft has openly admitted they update Vista without telling anyone about it.  The only way to stop it is to never connect to the Internet.  Welcome to the new world of the .NET framework.

So what is causing it in XP?  I get it too.

I get the same problem in WinXP, but I do have Vista installed on a dual boot (which I never use).

If you cannot maximize the game, it is due to something else maintaining primary control in Windows.  Spybot could do it, any anti-virus program could do it, and security type prgram can cause it.  There is a slim chance it could be video driver related as well.
