Game Screen Shrinks to Taskbar

Does anybody else here experience this proplem?
Sometimes I am playing the game on my laptop and the game will suddenly shrink to the taskbar, revealing the desktop. I click on the icon in the taskbar and the game screen pops back up, with the game having still been running whilst minimised.
If I play an all day session thus will happen once, maybe twice in that time period.
It's frustrating.

Yep. This happens for me when some very helpful update checker fires up. Apple is the normal culprit but I think I've had it with java as well in the past. Not sure how to stop it other than to disable those apps looking for updates but then I would forget to keep them up to date.

I've never had this happen. Do you play full screen or windowed?

Generally that is caused by a bad behaving program that is giving you a notification. Might be a virus scanner, mail notifier or something similar.

As others have said, this is generally due to other programs, not ED.
