I just reinstalled Allegiance and for the first day it ran just fine. The next day, when I opened it up and launched it minimized itself after 3 some seconds. Trying to get it back up, it minimized itself again after 3 seconds. So on so forth, I thought maybe if I opened up a game it would stay up. When I opened it up again it immediately minimized itself and I conceded. Did this happen to anyone else before? And if so do you know a fix?

Running Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you very much!

This may not help you but I have seen this happen when I try to run gaming application or somthing and I run something like Citrix. You may have some other program you have installed try to get the focus window. Like in my example Citrix will try and jump back up periodically and minimize any game i have opened.

this happens to me too, at least once everytime i play alleg, typically happens when i first fire it up.. its got some problem w/ xenocode. then it also likes to minimize on me when miners are down to 0% hull and i just need breathe on it to kill.. kinda random these other times but much more seldom

For me Firefox sometimes starts minimizing fullscreen applications (without visible reason). Only cure I found is closing ff while playing if that happens...
Still ready to teach anyone who asks nicely whatever they want to know about playing alleg. Contrary to popular opinion I do not eat newbies. Voobs taste much better.

WinXP SP3, no ff, I use chrome, but it minimizes from time to time.
