Anyone have any ideas what could be causing randome UT2003 to "minimize"
itself at randome intervals? It only happens when the fire button is
clicked, and only occasionally, but frustratingly it is more prevalent when
playing on-line.

My UT 2003 is fully patched, and I'm playing on a 3GHZ P4 with 1.5 GB RAM.
My video card is only an nVidia TI4200 (64 mg) - I realise this is weak
spot, but apart from the occasional "minimising " of the game (always at a
crucial point!) it runs absolutley fine with all details turned on.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Regards,

Would you have a Windows98 key board with the extra button between the Ctrl and
Alt?
If so if you hit that windows button you will go to desk top every time.

Do you have two monitors?

And note that would include a TV-out card with the tv set to be a seperate
monitor instead of being in clone mode.

In UT2004, my game minimises if I accidentally press the fire button and
the middle mouse-button (bound to the Avril) at the same time.
