Title: Really fucking annoying PC game-launching problem
Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 03, 2009, 09:00:19 PM
for a couple of weeks now whenever I try to launch a game on my desktop PC (Vista 64),  the game just minimizes and I can't bring the window back up - it just minimizes again every time I click on it, over and over.  I basically can't play any games on my desktop PC.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

In before demi laughs about PC gaming, and tells you to play your Xbox instead.

Found the problem - for anyone having the same issue, it's the Skype tray icon

Seriously though, why even bother with Windows Updates? I've been disabling that garbage since I upgraded to XP 7 years ago. I don't see the point unless it's for a service pack.

i use skype as my home phone
Ohh
