I have this annoying problem that has been going on for so long and I've tried to deal with it, but I finally want to know how to solve this.
Problem: When I'm in the game and if I don't press any buttons for about probably 3 minutes or more, the FFXI screen will be minimized to my desktop and PlayOnline. It ALWAYS DOES THIS.
Example: *plays FFXI, gets up to make a sandwich, comes back on the computer, and sees that FFXI has been minimized back to the desktop and POL*
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks for hearing me out,
Rain

I can't think on anything else that has this kind of effect when you don't touch your keyboard/mouse for a set amount of time.  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-20-2007, 01:41 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Call me "Rain" Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 312 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 35 Thanked 57x in 35 Posts Gil: 14,626 Bank: 3,286 Total Gil: 17,912 Donate | Re: Annoying Technical Problem =/ Where do I go to configure my screensaver options?

It could be a hardware issue as well, especially if it's happening in other games. Any information you can give about your computer (manufacturer, hardware, etc) would be helpful.
