I think I isolated the minimizing problem:
The problem:
Mirc(6.03 and 6.12) closes automatically when I minimize it. But I've noticed that the same symptoms are showing up with other apps too.
Question:
Does everyone or anyone have matrox g450 video card or matrox multidesk or ATI Hydravision installed on there system?
I have two virtual desktops setup using multidesk. But always use desktop 1.
In desktop 1, if I minimize mirc, the mirc app closes. But if I minimize zone alarm, it actually minimizes. But if I close za it still only minimizes and stays active behind the scenes, which is what it should be doing.
In desktop 2, if I minimize mirc, the app acually minimizes like it should. But if I minimize ZA or close ZA, it actually closes but doesn't stay active behind the scenes.
Actually, now that I've been switching btw the two desktops, ZA will close when the close button is pressed on either desktop, although it should really only be placed into the system tray next to the clock and remain active behind the scenes.
My feeling is that it's the matrox multidesk that is causing the mirc minimizing problem to occur. Can anyone confirm that?
