Minimized game + open Itunes then close Itunes = black screen?

[Chris Lakies]

The title says it all!

I can have any game like HL2 or Counter Strike Source minimized in the tool bar then if I open ITunes then close it, after a couple of seconds the screen will pop up black. The computer is still working like Hard Drive and memory. If I hold control/Alt/Del it will automatically close the game and everything is fine again.

Whats the deal-e-o?

scan for spyware//viruses (use AdAware, Spybot S&D, and AVG Free Edition)

go Start / Run / "chkdsk" (w/o the "") and see what it says

go to Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Scandisk
--set it to automatically correct errors and let it go.

post back with your results.

I don't have spyware. Or any type of VD!

Just HL2 + CS:S? In my experience they dont really like alt-tabbing, and it may have something to do with the way itunes draws its window (direct x libs i belive). Try it with something like UT2k4 or doom.
