    Any game I launched minimizes instantly whenever launched. And whenever I click on the icon at the bar, it comes up, then minimizes almost instantly again. My only work around so far has been to keep clicking in that short moment that it maximizes and then it will stay maximize and I will be in the game. Any idea how to fix this? It happens for all my games which runs in full screen mode.

    I am on Vista SP1 Home Premium and my graphic card is a x4500MHD. I have the most up to date drivers for everything.

    Ah I found the problem already. It's caused by some Sony software for my SR's mode switch buttons to work. Can't believe I have to disable this.
