PROBLEM: For somereason about half of my games will only run when i have my desktop resolution set to the games resolution. Havnt played css or any game in about 3 days, then when i play, right before the main menu screen comes up it minimizes, everysingle time, then i have to end it. I can play dods fine but css wont start up inless my desktop res is set to 1024x768. This happends to about half of my games. PLZ HELP!!!! WHAT I DID: -Updated Drivers -Played with settings -Reinstalled Mobo,vcard -Reinstalled DirectX9c -I did everything possible :( I tried doing Start>Run>Dxdiag, to see if anything happend. When i test my Direct3D, it goes to screen with dxbox, then cancels out and says, "You Cancled the test by pressing a key" :( this is really an annoying problem from switching to my fav desktop res 1280x1024 to 1024x768 or any res, just to play a game :(( HELP :D

Did you do a spyware/virus scan on your comp yet? TMP-Man Asus P5P800-SE PAT P4 506 @ 4009Mhz 1.3625v Thermaltake CLP0024 w/ 1700RPM 92MM + AS5 2GB OCZ 2-3-2-5 DDR400 120GB/300GB 7200RPM HD Leadtek 7600 AGP 590/1600 VF700 ALCU AS5

yea, but what will spyware do :D

set the game to fullscreen mode instead of window mode.

they are, just one day i went to play and most of my games wouldnt start up unless i set my desktop res to my games res :( :D

I have been having the same problem for a long time now, so if anyone knows anything it'd be doubly helpful.
