Title: Windows minimizing instantly
Post by: Blookah on February 19, 2009, 02:43:09 PM

I have a  peculiar problem. I'm running Vista Home Premium and when ever I open a window to Windows Explorer, Email and various others apps, the window minimizes immediately and I have to maximize it back from the application toolbar. If I don't place my cursor directly into the window when it maximizes, it minimizes again. I have no virus with anti-virus by Panda. What is going on here?

We need more info.

When did it start?

Have you tried a System Restore (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000589.htm) to a few days before this started?
