I'm not sure why clicking on any button EXCEPT the RESTORE DOWN button should put you into a minimized screen, but the Options/Graphic Settings would be the first thing I would check (or UNcheck).
NOTE: If you have to UNcheck the 'Windowed Mode', then load a SAVED game, it will not apply. Changes in the OPTIONS MENU won't have any affect on SAVED games - they will revert to the options they had when last saved.
Good Hunting

Thanks.

Read again - I said to UNcheck Windowed Mode - that is, take it out of Windowed Mode. I thought you might have the game in windowed mode, and that was causing your problem. If you put it into windowed mode, and the problem stops, then there is a different problem. I have no idea what could be causing this, except some confusion in the coding. You might have to completly delete the entire sim, and re-load.
If you do have to re-load the program, I would suggest you also clean the registry too. I use CCleaner (
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner ). I think its free, but you can donate if you like it. Also cleans out all the TEMP files left by your browser. You might want to start with CCleaner before you go to all the trouble of reloading the SH4. A faulty register can cause all sorts of wierd problems.
