Well, since 2 days im finally having my laptop, but when i play aq2 im having msn popups coming through my aq2 screen, which is very annoying.. the sounds of the msn pop up either.
Im having an ATI Radeon 9700 pro mobility, any1 knows how to solve this problem?
The sound of the popups is a soundcard issue i suggest?

there is a setting which automaticly switches your status to busy whenever a full screen show is activated.. ppt-presentation, movie, game or whatnot.. however it switches back to online when you tab out to windows.. but back to busy when you tab back to the game. Though ppl were annoyed by me switching status all the time, since i tend to tab out every time im dead

Using a proper client should work aswell...

If your using the busy function on msn, it wont popup, then just switch to away after playing?

You can also turn them off totally in Control Panel. Somewhere there. I've done it everytime i formated windows. But now I'm using linux so I don't remind where to go. But somewhere in Control panel.

Yes, this issue is still in the 4.9 package. However, it only seems to occur when AF is turned off for some reason. It seems the popups are somehow fucking up the alpha values in the videocards backbuffer when the popups are activated, or maybe it's a design fault in their Hyper Z marcitechture.
