loads of problems resulting from that 'update' Asher and trying to go back to my original drivers but I fixed them... i see i'll have to take what you suggest with a grain of salt...

the problem is still there, however. i tried to play Medieval: Total War and it also jumps back to the desktop every few seconds. Is it possibly there's a process going on in the background which is doing this? I ended all "User" processes and the problem kept happening. I'm scared to end a "System" one.

Try to to do a Restore before the installation of Thief!

And try to know which company build you videocard, which model is it.
You can do:
Start- Run -> Dxdiag

Albert:

I get this too unless I close background processes. Download "Process Explorer" and close absolutely everything that doesn't need to be running. To see what you can close, here is a helpful site: http://www.processlibrary.com/

What I bet is happening is one of those processes is "calling home" and forces the computer to desktop when it does so.

By the way, here are some likely suspects:

issch.exe
HPWuSchd2.exe

These processes that "sch"edule a call home for an update or whatever can behave poorly.
