Angry XP and game minimizing constantly

Okay - my turn to have a problem which I can't solve.

I've just bought and installed windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 1 (according to the CD), but have a big big problem....

Each game I try to play minimize itself constantly (and if anybody suggests I'm pressing "win"-key or something, I'll smack them )

On the same note, the Direct3D 7, 8 and 9 test in DirectX (dxdiag) fails, saying that the test was interupted by me pressing a key

I found out, that if I didn't instally some updates to Windows (4 different hotfixes and 1 patch to Internet explorer) this problem is not there - which strikes me as way odd.

Is there anybody that have had any experience with this problem? - because it is quite frankly getting on my nerves that I spend so much money buying original software, and then I can't keep it up to date

EDIT:
Forgot to mention:
I'm currently running Nvidia drivers for my ASUS Geforce 4 TI 4400, version about 45.XX, but have tried the latest also (52.XX I belive).
