Whenever I run a game, it switches back to the desktop where I have to
click on the game in the taskbar to get the game back. It doesn't
crash, it just switches. I have all the updated drivers and have turned
off the NOD32 as well. Any help here would be appreciated.

Nope, I play with a Cordless Rumblepack 2 gamepad.

Hi

I am also having the same problem - can anyone help me fix it? I've just
bought a new PC with XP Media Centre and reinstalled a game that worked fine
on a previous machine.

Thanks

Vicky
