I had this problem so bad. I finally noticed (barely) that it seemed like my EQ window (I play windowed mode) lost "focus". As if something else was trying to maybe grab the focus. So after searching, I found the following and it worked like a charm. It was on a forum on Bleepingcomputer.com.

Run regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop

Look for ForegroundLockTimeout

This DWORD controls how long you have to be idle in an app before another app can show focus. If the time has not yet expired, the offending app should just flash in the taskbar. The default should be 30d40 (200000), which is 200000 milliseconds.

Mine was indeed set to zero, and I changed it with this value. Now I've been playing and having fun again. I zone quickly, reliably and don't seem to just go LD near as much. When I do, it's usually my internet connection. YMMV, but it has worked for me thus far. Good Luck!
