So this all started with Star Trek Online not staying in Fullscreen, now Battlefield 3 refuses to enter fullscreen.

Seen here is what it is calling fullscreen, i have done all i know even "Alt+Enter" and no such luck.


I have turned on EyeFinity and then turned it off, i tried resetting the resolution, nothing i do fixes it, please help, this is getting extremely old.

Thanks in advance for reading and assisting.

almost forgot,
System:
AMD FX 8320
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
16GB DDR3-2133
two HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ X Turbo CrossfireX enabled

this setup used to play in fullscreen, that was before i setup an Eyefinity setup to play Dirt3 splitscreen on two different displays.

Found the issue, after rebooting while connected to an HDTV the OS decided to change the primary Display (Monitor #1) to the HDTV and off the Monitor. Unsure why this happened, and i searched all over to make it primary again, but it would appear that Windows 7 favors HDMI over DVI.
