    Hey Guys

    strange problem in vista 64 just started

    during loading screens for the games the games will minimize, argh. problem is not all games like this :p and some will then promptly crash or i miss out cut scenes as they wont "tab back" in

    is there a way to force them to stay maximised?

    only recently started happening, tried re-installing 3 different drivers to no luck and doesnt happen in windows 7

    :eek:

    I've found the side bar in Vista to suck for some games (Fallout 3 I definitely remember). Also you could try going to the properties for the .exe or shortcut to the game and disabling compositing.
