Automatic (and unwelcome) AH Minimizing...?

[Dux]

Hi all,
   This has been annoying me for weeks... occasionally (and always at the worst possible time) AH minimizes to the desktop, and I have to scramble to click on the taskbar to get back in before I've augered (usually too late, usually in combat).

I think I've narrowed it down to the hatswitch on my Saitex X-36 (it always seems to happen when I'm evading a BnZ while looking backwards).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Windows ME
DX8
saitek x36 with throttle and CH pro USB pedals using Bob Church's driver

Thanks in advance.

you've got something running in the background, an Email or virus checker?

Next time hit happens, hit cntrl-alt-del and make a note of everything you see there. There should be at most five entries, and in reality you only need three.

I would check and see exactly what you have programmed for that switch position.
For months i was getting random reboots when using the hat switches usually rapidly changing from view to view.
I altered the programmed commands slightly and it has stopped all problems.
