Issue with fullscreen games switching back to Desktop
Hi there,
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I've been rather happy, coming from Vista.
I've had it on for several months now, and because I rarely play a fullscreen game it hasn't troubled me much, but I decided to post about it anyhow.
Whenever I launch or reactivate a fullscreen game there is an approximately 95% chance that it will swap me back to windows (as if I had waited for ~2 seconds and then pressed alt-tab).
What this means is that in order for the game to stay activated I actually have to keep switching to it for 1-30 times until it "sticks".
I have to this day been unable to even find similar reports, let alone a fix.
Updating all kinds of drivers (and in the case of the graphics card even getting older ones) hasn't helped a bit.
Here's my System Information:

I'm not sure what other information you might need, so if anything pops to mind, just ask and I will provide, if able.
Thanks for your help and input.
Kind regards,
