Could you clarify further? Does it intermittently switch out? Is it on starting the game? Does it stay full screen when you press Alt-Enter?

I had a similar problem when I first got my 5870, solved it by reinstalling drivers and it seemed to sort it out as now all games start fullscreen instead of windowed.
