View Full Version : Minimizes to desktop upon right click... sometimes

I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem but the game randomly minimizes to the desktop. It only does this when I right click to bring up the weapons screen. Does anybody know a solution for this? So far I've even tried to run the game in Windows 98 compatability mode, disabling visual themes, and turning off the advanced text services but it didn't help.
My specs are as follows:
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 SP2
512MBs Ram (Yes, I know it's not much but it works for now)
1.8GHz Pentium 4 (Kinda slow for some games but Worms 4 seems to run pretty good other than my problem at hand)
DirectX 9.0c
nVidia GeForce 5200 FX - 81.98 Drivers (Running in multi display mode LCD NEC Moniter and TV) (Actually runs this game pretty well... unless it's causing the problems)
Creative Audigy MP3 Sound Card - Using latest KX Drivers (Broke my original driver CD and these drivers actually work better than the original ones anyway)

Well... I believe I found the problem :) Actually, while I was posting that message I started thinking that it may actually been due to my multi monitor settings and so after posting that I tried turning my TV settings off and guess what problem solved. Now, if I can just get it to work with it turned back on and get the game to stay put on the monitor enstead of trying to mess with the TV everytime I try to open up the weapons in the game. I know that the drivers actually have a setting in them for that type of thing and so I'm going to try messing with those settings with the TV display on and see what results I get.
