Think back man, what have you done/changed/installed that could cause this?

Or just forget all that stuff and reinstall everything.   :P

Is cs still active or do you have to start the game up again when you get back to windows??

(kun je zo weer terug naar het spel of moet je het opnieuw opstarten?)

If the game still goes on then i would say: Scan your pc for spyware as that is most of the time the problem when you get thrown back to windows and the game is still going on.

This has got nothing to do with the thread. I just noticed that the kid is leaning on a bottle of Duvel!  :D

Yep, this avatar was made for my brother (thought it was made by Slowhand or Smite).
My nephew Brian was sitting in the back yard one day and it looked like he was saluting (he had an itch). We made a picture and I asked if an avatar could be made from it. Result...

It used to get this all the time.
For me I think it was something in my system tray i.e. printer monitor.
I close alot of crap in the try before starting CS/CZ.

But it happened to me again last night so I quit and rejoined.  Was OK then.

If I ever alt-tab out of CZ and then go back in, it never stays in.

I had the same problem. Sometimes after clicking the CZwindow several times it would first go fullscreen, then back to minimised. After 3-5 times it would finally stay fullscreen.

And bro, try and have less backgroundprograms running is a good suggestion from Thulsa aswell...
Keep us posted, otherwise I'll drop by soon...

My best guess, based on when the problem started, is that it is something to do with the latest update causing a conflict somehow. I know this sounds daft but can you try some older video drivers rather than the latest just to see if it helps (or even check to see if there are newer ones available that address this problem)

The only other thing I can think off is to wait for another Steam update  :lmfao: but you probably don't want to do that ;)

I used to have the EXACT same problem.  turned out Folding@Home was causing it.  As soon as I killed F@H CS ran perfectly.
