An odd problem!...

[Slotster!]

Hello there - I've got a bit of a bizarre problem, as was wondering if anyone could help!

I've started using a different laptop for my MG casino's, and something very odd is happening. With every MG casino I've installed, if I 'minimize' the window (full screen), whenever I click to maximize it again - it appears briefly then minimizes again. I.e - Click on the tab at the bottom, up pops the casino, then instantly minimizes!! It'll do this every single time I click on the casino, until I eventually have to right click on it in the task bar to close it, or end the application manually. Then I have to reload the casino from scratch, and remember never to minimize it during my session... Very annoying, and entirely impractical.

Anyone got any ideas?

Running Windows XP and the latest MG downloads... Cheers in advance!

Can you plug in the mouse from a desktop machine and try that? It may be that the one in the laptop is a little touchy...

Not sure if that's the problem, but it's definately the first thing I'd try and go from there if that doesn't work.

Not sure. But meanwhile, try ALT + TAB "switching"

Had the same problem before and found a permenant fix for it. It involves several steps:

1) Shut the computer down, disconnect all cables, and close up the lap-top.
2) Get dressed and put some shoes on.................. you're goin outside!
3) Bring your car keys!
4) Gently set the computer behind one of the rear wheels of your car. ( a fully-loaded truck works best, but use what you have)
5) Start the engine and throw that baby in reverse. Now back up several yards to ensure that your front wheels also pass over the faulty computer. Come to a complete stop and then put that mother in Drive. Now follow your same tracks in a forward manner and make sure you travel sufficiently forward enough so that both tires pass over the bastard.
6) Repeating this several times while yelling obsceneties at the top of your voice also ensures that the neighbors will never f*ck with you again!! ( and those pesky neighbors who always come over to borrow a cup of sugar will probably never be at your door again. ( especially for anything in white powder form from a maniac like you)
7) This fix will work with many household items and is not limited to computers.


Good luck Slotster!!

I believe I had the same problem and that was the solution. Use the full screen option. Good luck!

I think he is running in full-screen, isn't he?

Tim, can you try that "fix" with your refrigerator and let me know how it goes?

Thanks for your help chaps! Running on full screen, got a mouse plugged in - and tried the alt tab! Weirdest thing, is when you alt-tab, same thing. Quickly appears on screen, then minimized!... I've been flash casino'ing it for the last few days, and it's not the same!

I just thought - I've not tried it in a window though... Although that still isn't really what I'm after.

Thanks again -any further suggestions appreciated!

No problem Slotster! I'm always there for ya!

I wouldn't recommend this "fix" with a refridgerator MacGyver unless you're driving a Monster Truck.
