Screen continuously minimizes itself

Hi.

When I play in fullscreen mode, the game will forcibly minimize itself as if I were to alt-tab every three seconds. Even if I just start it up and do nothing, it'll minimize in just a few seconds. Trying to open it again will just minimize seconds later. Restarting the game doesn't help, neither does re-installing. I've messed with all the graphic options, nothing changes. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

I suppose I could just play in windowed, but I'd really rather not.

Greetings,

If you have any screen capture programs or additional overlays (provided by programs like Mumble or MSI Afterburner) please try disabling them. Also, try making sure that you aren't running any other programs that try to take focus while playing Spiral Knights.

Fixed it, kind of.

I tried your suggestions, but I didn't actually have anything to turn off, except MSI Afterburner which I just uninstalled because I never use it. They didn't work, but I turned on Fraps (no recording, just having it open) and it no longer force-minimizes. Weird, but fixed enough.
