    Hey I looked for an appropriate forum for this but I did not find any. But anyways, Windows 7 keeps exiting out of full screen for no apparent reason when I am playing a game or watching a movie in full screen, my machine is fully protected by an up to date Kaspersky 2012(or so I think). Does anyone have a solution for that?and does anyone experience the same issue with windows 7?

    This is the type of question I would, personally, research/ask on the StackOverFlow spin-off, SuperUser.com. But, there's nothing wrong with asking it here ! best, Bill

      I did a bit of research on the matter, some recommended turning off the anti-virus while playing a game in full screen, but that does not seem to eliminate the problem.

        It may be difficult to get rid of, but you could try uninstalling Kaspersky.

              Bad title. I'd be willing to bet pretty much anything it has more than a bug.

                      I mean when you are playing a game or watching a movie in full screen windows will exit the full screen and the program starts running in window mode. The problem is that this occurs randomly while one is enjoying a game in full screen. :)

                            in my experience, that means some application is trying to do a notification. it was an HP printer driver, last time it happened to me. i had to disable... something. it could be anything, though.

                              Thanks, I will try to disable some background programs one at a time (painstakingly) and see the culprit program. The thing is that there is even no pop up notifications from any program after the full screen exits automatically.

                                If this happen, it is surely not the fault of Windows 7 but something running on your computer that cause that. You should disable almost any program (for example using msconfig) and then try again.

                                    At least you did not say for no reason. Might save you from a 1 from me.

                                    You meant a dot or a lower case m?

                                    I'm pretty sure it's safe to answer Yes. Wrong forum. Maybe wrong site, but definitely wrong forum. :)

                                    Definitely right forum. It's not a programming question, and it is a technical discussion. It also reaches a larger audience than any other forum available. The SysAdmin Forum might be marginally appropriate, but it's unlikely to generate any meaningful help.

                                    Will Rogers never met me.

                                      Hey I looked for an appropriate forum for this but I did not find any. But anyways, Windows 7 keeps exiting out of full screen for no apparent reason when I am playing a game or watching a movie in full screen, my machine is fully protected by an up to date Kaspersky 2012(or so I think). Does anyone have a solution for that?and does anyone experience the same issue with windows 7?

                                      Just open the event viewer after it happens. Rocket surgery it ain't.

                                        If this happen, it is surely not the fault of Windows 7 but something running on your computer that cause that. You should disable almost any program (for example using msconfig) and then try again.

                                        Thanks, I started with disabling Kaspersky system watcher and from the look of things so far, windows is okay.I will continue disabling the programs one at a time.
