Troublesome Randon Window Openning

Probably once every 30 things, and unmarked window down on the very bottom windows xp menu bar will pop up for a split second. Now if I am just browsing the desktop or surfing the web its not a problem, but whenever I am playing a game, it will automatically minimize my game window, just as in I were to get a new instant message. Anyone know how I can fix this, or possible causes?

So you dont know what it is? Its just an unmarked window right?

If thats correct you might have some spyware on your PC, I would try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy.

I hope it helps.
