Often my games have been minimizing , not crashing completely. No external thing causing it to. Any ideas?

I think that's happened to me when another program was finished installing or updating. Possibly your antivirus software?

I did not see any other programs trying to do anything. It just minimized to the desktop.

Long shot guess that I've not seen anyone suggest before....

Are you playing in Windowed mode? Any chance you are dragging another window back and forth on the screen? This "feature" in Win7+ minimizes all other windows.

What is a windowed mode ? Like the small screen vs. the letterbox on tv ?

The setting is in the Links setup, under Graphics Settings/ Display Mode. It will display the game in a window that does not take up the entire screen of your monitor.

It's in fullscreen mode.
