Wasn't really sure where to post this, so sorry if it's inappropriate here.

I've noticed recently that certain games will not run fullscreen. By this I mean the game is fully functional however I am presented with a black screen with the game running in the background, sound and all. It's just I have no image.

It seems to be the one's which give me the option of running them in windowed mode - which incidentally works fine and is hence the only way I am able to play them. It annoys me though! TrackMania Nations is one example of this. I don't know enough about the technical side of things to work out why this might be.

I updated my drivers (running newest CATs on an X800) and made sure my DirectX was the newest (9.0c).

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
