For some reason when I startup games they immediately go into a minimized state this started to happen after I installed KOTAR II which I removed do to extreme bordem of, and the new Battlefield 2 Demo, any reasons that you can think of for this?

Thanks.

I believe that happens when you run the cracked EXE for KOTAR II. It corrupts your DirectX DLLs.

You'll have to reinstall DX and stop pirating.

You have given literally NO information whatsoever about your machine and expect someone to troubleshoot it for you?

Windows does that all the time with me. Sometimes it gets perverted and starts browsing porn sites all by itself. Then I have to buy new copies
