Monitor problem

Apr 8, 2005 5:02AM PDT

Hi there

I'm hoping someone can help me with a very annoying problem I recently found. There I am enjoying myself playing a game and then the monitor suddenly goes back to the desktop. It happens with all the games I've been playing and it happens every 10 mins or so. Ran a virus scanner but it's still happening. The monitor is a Videoseven 17" tft panel and the graphics card is a 9600 pro.

Cheers

Could be another program

that requires your input or you're hitting alt-tab during gameplay by mistake.

Maybe but how do I check

The games were mouse driven so cant be alt-tab during gameplay and to tell you the truth I wouldn't know how to check if another prohram requires input.
