Hi,
Most games that I download from Steam automatically try to run in fullscreen when I start them. However, usually, this doesn't work. I'll start a game, my two screens go black then flicker grey (so does my third, if it's on) and I'll hear the game audio start, but then the audio stops, the screen flickers black and grey again, and i'm back on desktop view, with whatever other programs I have open in front of me (usually Steam and a web browser). I'll click on the icon in the taskbar, and it does the same thing. Sometimes Alt + Enter works, to get it to run windowed and let me change the display settings, but most of the time, it doesn't work. I have to deal with this constantly and it's getting really annoying. Anyone know of a way to fix this, or change it so that ALL games automatically try to launch in windowed mode BEFORE they try fullscreen? Here are my specs:
Thanks!
