I have had this problem before. First you should just try to sit in one area and see if it does it again. You also might be pressing the home key on accident. I'm pretty sure that this is what happens to me. But I have a switch on my keyboard to disable the home key and that fixes the problem for me. Your pc definetly has no problem running dishonored, but do get any lag before this happens?

Actually i have the G15 from Logitech and I also disabled the windows Key. In some instances the game would switch twice without me touching anything. Weird. HELP!!!! -_-

Are you runnning anything else in the background? A couple of years ago I had an issue with Firefox stealing focus from games.

I've had this happen twice.

I *think* in my case it was MS Outlook - with its email notification pop-up that floats over other windows including games. It appeared that my mouse travelled over the partially faded alert and that switched focus to Outlook instead. I'm not 100% sure it was this, but it's my main suspect. Either that or a Skype alert.
