Why does my Dragon Age Origins game keep randomly minimising, or restoring down without me pressing anything?

Occasionally the game freezes, and I have to shut down by pulling the battery out.

I don't have AVG installed or any virus guard, but I'm thinking of installing Avast.

I've already tried re-starting and playing for a bit.



Thanks, Thisara

Any kind of pop up that forces itself into the foreground tasks of your system will cause this to happen. I had it happen for a number of things that I had to beat into submission to stop the behavior. Another way to stop it is to play in windowed mode.



The pop up still happens, but it doesn't disrupt your play.



Look through the programs you have running in memory (start by checking the system tray) and either stop them, or configure them to quit with the pop up notifications.



And... please... Install an anti-virus product. Avast is a good choice.Why does my Dragon Age Origins game keep randomly minimising, or restoring down without me pressing anything?
It could be a few things:

-You could be pressing the windows key by accident.

-There are some background applications running that interfere with the game (so I would suggest closing all applications you aren't using.)

-Or, it could be something to do with mods. Every so often, you install a mod that doesn't work or isn't compatible with other mods... which will cause your game to freeze. Try uninstalling your mods and try to find out which one is causing the problem. (If you installed it with the DAUpdater, I'd recommend downloading DA Mod manager so you can fully uninstall them: http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file鈥?/a> . If you used override files, then just remove them.)

i say many u are pressing Windows button next to left-alt... im playing on laptop to and it happens sometimes.. if you have original game theres no way you have a virus or else there, if u have copy well sometimes people are share things like that add few extra things like spyware etc..

maybe your laptop/pc have not enough space on HDD or memory/RAM check min.requirements

update graphic cards drivers.. maybe there is something working in your background/program that makes your game freeze/minimize
