I have ran into some problems of own. I have had this problem before. My games minimize themselves and will only play in winowed mode. The first time this happened I had disabled part of the driver Win Patrol (dumb, I know). This time is seems to be related to Nvidia's newest drivers. They were released on May 31, 2007. I have reinstalled them multiple times. Whenever I uninstall the drivers in leaves quite a few files behind which I once manually deleted and on another try didn't. It also leaves behind one registry entry which I have tried an install with it deleted and not also. They had worked for about a week and just today started acting up. It seemed to only happen at first when I would ALT+TAB and not be able to get back. The card has a factory overclock.

Any ideas?

Hi Titan8990, welcome to Geeks to Go! :whistling:

I don't think Nvidia supports their older drivers or has them on their website. Anyways the problem was fixed on driver re-install #4. I unplugged my X-box 360 controller and my printer (all my USB componants) which was the only difference from two of the other re-installs. So if anyone else has problems give that a shot.


Thanks anyways.
