When you say it minimzes the game - when does this happen? When you click certain areas of your screen or when you hit the windows-key by mistake?

I've seen both.

The first, I got rid of by:

- Opening up in windowed mode (using a res that is the exact res of your desktop) and dragging the window to cover the whole desktop as best you can. Try not to leave any of the desktop showing, even on the edges.
- force it to full screen (alt enter)
- Immediately camp out and quit EQ and get back in

This should start in full screen mode and no longer leave it.

if you do go back to windowed mode (alt-enter or ctrl-alt-delete or windows key) - make sure you dont camp in windowed mode. It will save that and youll be starting in windowed mode again. Always camp and the exit EQ in full screen mode.

For the 2nd, I just disabled that key - I forgot how - a google should help with that.
