Maybe that's a clue. I often used to get wierd things happening (though not minimizing) when attacking, which I eventually concluded were due to high cpu/memory usage, ie when there's a lot happening in terms of sound and vision. These days, I use FSAutoStart to turn absolutely everything I don't need off before I run the sim. It does mean you can't play online though. Mind you, I've never had any similar problems when playing on line, so it's not been an issue.

Do you like this better than "End It All"?

Hi sonar, can't say I've tried 'End It All'. great name though. I discovered FSAS a few years ago and it seemed to do the trick. What's different with EIA? There's bound to be a thread on here somewhere about it, I'll have a look later.
