Fullscreen problem

mku1tra · July 11th, 2007

A'ight, here's an odd one...
And I'm not the most technically inclined, so bear with me.
Occasionally, when I try to run ePSXe (from cd or iso) in full screen, it will go to a black screen for a couple of seconds, then minimize itself. If I leave it sit, the game will start, (the music, anyway) but will always minimize itself if I try to maximize it, and eventually rearranges my desktop icons if I continue to do so. Sometimes rebooting fixes the problem, sometimes not. The games work fine in windowed mode, and it's not a constant problem, just persistent, and happens with a couple other emus (Zsnes and Kega) I use, as well.
Thanx for yo time

The only time I've had this happen to me that I can recall was when I ran the Folding@Home GUI client while playing in ePSXe. Have you tried closing any background apps or checking for updated video card drivers?

Yea, I don't play unless I have no other apps running, and I just updated my driver after you mentioned it, and it's all cool at the moment, but like I said, it seems to happen sporadically, so I guess I'll wait and see, but thanks
