Well don't minimize and maximize windows then, jeez! :D

As far as the games are concerned, make sure you are running the latest video, sound, and DirectX drivers..a lot games are picky about these things..and you seem to have 100 and 133 MHZ ram..though this shouldn't cause any problems, it MIGHT be one of the variables..you might want to try removing one of them and see what happens..Regards

Like Cyph3r said,
Make sure that you are running the LATEST drivers for the video, ect... Also try lowering hardware accell. It will affect games a bit, but at least you can see if that is the problem.
