Since its patch Wednesday, do you have any Windows Updates waiting for a reboot to apply them? That often pops up, or minimizes things even if its already got its lovely, lovely, warning box up.

I'm 95% positive its just something stealing focus :) Good luck with the hunt and let us know how you get on :)

You might be able to try running task manager over the top of LFS, and see if anything steals CPU/Memory usage when LFS gets minimized? DOn't know if that will even work, just a thought.

If you have Active Desktop - get rid of it.
Disable as many system tray tasks as you can - I personally need to close down Shareaza, my mobile phone sync software, Bluetooth and all Messaging stuff - it all interferes with LFS and steals focus.

if you're using a mouse it might actually "go outside" the lfs screen thus leaving it when you click to accelerate ..

possible solution Clip mouse to screen: yes in screen options.
