Some movie players and  games minimize
I use win 7 and I have an aggrivating problem. While I am watching movies on Net Flix, Hulu and also with PowerDVD 11 the screen will minimize to a smaller screen from the full screen. This happens randomly but will happen several times during a full length movie. Also when my kids are playing some games the game will minimize to the taskbar from full screen. I checked for spyware but found nothing. It never happens when we are just surfing with the IE 9 browser, (I only have IE9). I have another computer with win 7 on my home network and it has never done this. I also tried a complete reinstall from the factory image but it still continues to do this on this computer. This is a very new computer - about 5 months old but this really is a pain..... Any help, of course, will be greatly appreciated!

Hello atonalkeb, We are here to help you. The first thing you want to do is verify that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed, these can usually be downloaded from the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card. Also I did some research for you, and it seems this is a common issue for AVG 9.0. Since updating AVG seems to give problems, I suggest uninstalling AVG and installing Microsoft Security Essentials in stead; it is a free anti-virus tool from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials). I hope this information helped you out. With kind regards, Laurenz
