When I have been playing games like Halo or WoW the game keeps minimizing and sometimes the Windows Media Player just pops up?!?! WTF!?!?!?!?

Why the hell is it minimizing. I'm not hiting the button next to alt and ctrl(NO I don't know what its called.)

It is really aggravating. Especially during WoW when it takes years to load becuase of my low RAM.

So my question is WTF?!?!

Malware? any programs/bubbles causing game to go out of focus?

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Sometimes if a box pops up, it automaticly minimizes the game. Why the windows media player is popping up, thoguh, I'm not sure. Spyware perhaps?

That's weird, try starting windows media player before you start playing your game so it won't have to pop up? Or find out what key is making it start. Or uninstall it. Also run a virus scan or something maybe? I don't know of a virus that would just make windows media player pop up, but uh you never know.
