Email programs, or anything that might want attention can cause your game to minimize.

So shut down everything before playing. Besides, why use up resources that you could be using for the game.

I guess since your running a nVidia card you could try opening the game, then ALT + Tab out, then right click on the games little tab on the start bar and have a look through the minimising things maybe?
