Everytime my NS gets minimized, usually due to pop ups of some sort, I have to open task manager and stop NS because if I just maximize it, my computer freezes. Well, if I do this, the brightness setting that NS makes sticks with me even if the game isn't playing. Is there a way to fix this?

in your NS folder there is a small .exe file:
half-life\ns\ResetGamma.exe
I made a shortcut to this on my desktop and after my gamma is hosed I just double click and gamma is restored. It's a pain but at least I don't go blind.
You can also go into the video settings, once you start NS, and work with the gamma setting to set it closer to what your desktop is so that when/if it hoses up it's close if not the same as your existing gamma. Not perfect for NS play but another workaround.

Right now I'm trying to see how many of these patches/issues can be solved server side.
however you should also go about fixxing this problem in the first place
the basic rule of HL is close EVERYTHING when you wana play, specialy IMservices
if you are getting other popus sounds like spyware or something, do a google for ad aware <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Actually, I wouldn't mind if no one came back to play NS. I'm liking playing with the same people most of the time. Made some new friends, met some cool people. For the losers that can't get Steam to work, poo on em.
look, I don't care what spyware software tou use, but reseting your clock is a silly thing, well atleast for those of us who actualy care what day it is.
As for ussesless spam about how you and your 'friends' are better then those people who havn't gotten steam to work yet
GROW UP!
infact this post has nothing to do with steam.
I know it's sorta OT but this thread was hijacked anyway so I figured I'd pitch in.
