Hi, I've come across a problem with my GPU (Ati X1900XT 512mb) and the Ati support site is down for maintenence.

Basically, I'm running dual flat screen monitors. I've got the latest 7.5 catalyst drivers installed. Whenever I try to open a game or full screen application, the application maximises, i can hear the sound of the intro, but the game then minimizes to desktop. I can't find out how to open the games properly and its very frustrating because I've got so many games to play. Some games work, but the majority dont. There seems to be conflict when I open the application, the other monitor (without the game on) flashes and attempts to resize itself while the game maximises on the opposite screen. Then it minimizes to desktop and I can't maximise it, it just keeps minimizing.

Can anybody help me? :(:

ok well thanks for the help.....:P

i solved the problem. I have my xbox360 controller linked to the pc, the driver "xboxstat.exe" sometimes stops applications from running at a certain resolution which was my problem. I simply close the exe file and everything works fine. A word of warning for anyone with a similar problem.
