    Unexpected Ms-dos Application Minimize

    Hi, I have a PC with Windows XP Home edition installed. I have an MS-DOS application that runs in full screen mode. If I run the application, work on it and leave the application running on the PC but I don't work on it, after some time (not firmly, in 5mins, other time in 15mins, other time in 6mins, etc) it minimizes unexpectedly. The application was working with no problem on the PC for about a year now. I have changed the DDR chip: The same problem. I have seen the properties of the executable file: Everything OK. I have searched for a virus/spyware:Nothing found. I have tried the application on other PCs with the same operatng system and it works. I have formatted the hard disk, reinstalled XP and restored the application from the backup before format: The same problem. Can you please help me?

    Thank you.

    Just to clarify:

    The app minimizes to the taskbar? Clicking the taskbar brings it back?

    You only have this issue with this one app? No other problems?

    What is the program? Have you tried a complete uninstall/ reinstall?

    Yes, the app minimizes to the taskbar and by clicking it on the taskbar it brings it back. Only this issue and no other problems. The program is Singular / Commercial Manager. Complete uninstall/reinstall: I haven't tried bacause with just a Copy/Paste on other PCs the app works fine.
