doesn't really sound like there's a problem with your rig...
as long as your still able to maximize and go back to fly it seems like a minor glitch
it could be you firewall that causes this, or maybe some module you got installed in FS?

if it gets too annoying, try reinstalling the sim

you may have missing air file

It souns to me like you have something running in the background. Maybe a firewall or some other program.
If you look in the lower right hand corner you should see several icons there. This area is called the systems task bar any icons you see there are programs that are running at all times. Make sure there is nothing that you do not need runing. do not mess with the speaker or monitor icon as your system needs these. But it does not need a antivirus program or firewall running.
If you use your moden to log on to another computer this program usually stays active. Or if you have incoming faxes this also does not need to be on.
