Most connection-based programs disconnect when minimized
I have three computers, one desktop (what my listed specs are for), a laptop, and a netbook. Each are running some version of Windows 7 (Ultimate x64, Home x64, Home x86). On each computer, if I minimize a connected AIM, Yahoo, or MSN account.. Also any Telnet connected windows/Telnet based platforms that are currently connected to a server.. After a good 2-4 minutes of being minimized, all programs are disconnected. At first I thought it was an internet problem, but that isn't the case (program(s) run fine without any hiccups as long as its an active window). Search engines also reveal it happening for Remote Desktop users and applications (though I have no experience with RD). I have to conclude it's a Windows 7 problem, but can it be remedied? I want to say Im averagely experienced in modifying windows settings and I cannot find anything that this problem relates to. If any additional info is required, I will happily comply.
