Default Random Minimization

okay, this has been happening on and off for the past few days...

While playing GW, the game will spontaneously minimize itself for no apparent reason, even while no other programs are running.

Does anyone have any ideas for a cause/solution?

If only that was the problem...
There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it minimizing itself. It's done it at times when I wasn't even touching the keyboard.

you got spyware problems. a guildy had the same thing happening while gvging (he was playing one of the monks too ), and he fixed it by doing some thorough virus and spyware scans.

Most likely you have a program running in the background, maybe even a badly designed keylogger. Usually when another window/program starts doing anything significant GW will minimise and switch.
