Widescreen Gaming Forum

This issue started happening after I upgraded to 2.07.00.031r2

Symptoms

[list][*]mostly: any game running at a non-native triple resolution (other than 3840x1024, etc.) [/*:m]
[*]always: any game running at any single resolution (1024x768, etc.).[/*:m]
[*]always: shortly after starting the game it minimises and returns to the desktop[/*:m]
[*]mostly: screen will flash to a grey gradient fill, light at top, dark at bottom [/*:m]
[*]sometimes: the white GXM logo on black background may be seen briefly[/*:m]
[*]rarely: repeated applications of alt-enter might restore the game[/*:m][/list:u]

Setup

[list][*]Win 7 x64 SP1[/*:m]
[*]th2go digital edition[/*:m]
[*]GTX295 w/ 266.58 driver[/*:m]
[*]3x Dell 1907FP (1280x1024 native)[/*:m][/list:u]

Tried
[list][*]Editing GXM mode listing - I had a fair bit of luck with this, setting a 1280x1024 @ 75Hz setting (rather than @60Hz), but many games don't give you the option to change the refresh setting[/*:m]
[*]Killing Matrox.PDesk.HookHost64.exe - this worked but I'm curious as to what functionality you lose? desktop interactivity like window maximising in center monitor, etc?[/*:m][/list:u]

The script provided does the job, but I'm curious as to if there is a better way.

To try
[list][*]Regressing to GXM 2.05.00.020 - what functionality do I lose?[/*:m][/list:u]

Anyone try that last one?
