Problem with Race On: redirected to desktop during racing

Hi,

Since I installed Race On,
The game often closes itself (no shutting off!!)
but it minimalises itself so i get to see my desktop
I just have to click it back on below
and I can continue racing
It's really frustrating cause when I get 'thrown back' into the game
I often loose control over the car

Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Never had it with Race...

This has happened to me a few times lately. Do you have msn running whils't you are racing? if so close it while you are racing
 
I've had RaceOn and L4D2 bail to the desktop a few times as well, but i don't use AVG, I use Comodo instead.

What I've found is that if another program in the background produces a pop up (Windows Updater, Firewall Alert, Auto Updaters etc) it causes RO/L4D2 to become the background app and the pop up is the active window. I even get it if I plug my headset in whilst in game.

I've recently moved to Win7 and have a feeling that's something to do with it - I don't recall it ever happening on XP.
 
yeah - pop ups will do this. real pain though with the AVG9 - there was no pop up. you just sat there looking at your desktop going...ummm what now? :)

(also hearing the revs drop on your cars... usually followed by some slamming sounds)

glad could help though.
