Vista minimizes games

I'm sitting on skype playing Global Agenda with a buddy and he won't stop complaining about vista minimizing his games every time any background application wants to do anything. I would like him to stop. Is there a setting I can direct him to which makes background applications stop minimizing something running in full screen?
What is this I don't even.

Go into Control panels, under User Accounts, and Select the "Turn user control On/Off". Uncheck the box and hit OK.
No more annoying Popups.
Its UAC dude. Nothing should be throwing popups from the backround unless its UAC or its Malware.

Ask him to uncheck the box and test it. Come back with the results.
It turns out it was some 64 bit AVGfree issues. We just uninstalled that and et voila!
This. There are plenty of apps that are shittily written. Use Microsoft security essentials instead. it's far less annoying than AVG in the "getting in your road unnecessarily" respect.
