Win7

i was using a minimizer on XP and that worked fine, i switched to win 7 , i started playing more recently then i decided to get the minimizer again. its not working. there are no settings other than what hotkeys to set it to.

in game using minimizer hotkeys will give you a blank black screen, untill you maximize again. and after that pressing the hotkeys again will do nothing.

Vista/7 yews completely different desktop compositing engines than XP... I think it unlikely that any minimizers written for XP would work on Vista/7. If by chance they might, make sure you're running the minimizer as administrator.

Really I don't see why you need anything other than what I suggested, it works fine. Just "AFK" in chat so people know, then minimize through Task Manager. If want music and all that stuff just run Winamp/VLC or whatever.

The one I used on XP works fine in 7 and, yes, I think you have to run as administrator.

Mine would do nothing until I ran it as admin.
