Problem With Full Screen Games Not loading

[Brian110]

I never Seen this before, any Full Screen game I try to start just sit in the task manager build up more memory every sec and does not start the game. I have no Idea where to start to fix this.

I tryed reinstalling the video drivers and running 2 PC Fix/repair Programs register cleaners and same problem. I disabled all none windows services and startup programs still no change to the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

P.S When I registered I put my PC info in I hope your able to view it, if not heres the basics:

Dell Inspiron 530
Intel Core2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz
6 GB RAM
Vista X64

I think it may be this
in the intel's info box it says CRT when Its a LCD not sure if this is relevant

Thanks,

off of that information, it says your monitor is a generic plug and play monitor with an analog connection (VGA), when you start a game, can you see anything in the taskbar at the bottom or does nothing start at all?

Nothing in the bottem right but in the task manager the game is there racking up memory just does a count up no to little hard drive activity and yet the memory the game is using just keeps growing in the task manager its a small game, but if I don't end task on it it will grow to over 1 GB. This is true for any game that uses full screen directx or 3D Acceleration. The little 2D games in window mode plays fine.

I tryed this on LEGO Digital Designer & Battlefield 2 Bad Company.

Have you tried maximising the game using ALT+enter trick? Might help with memory usage if the game is full screen, if that doesnt work, then I think you might need to restore to before it started happening.

Yes I did the Alt+Tab nothing shows init as if its not there vary odd. same problem with all 3d games.

can you download this driver here and install it? i have a hunch its something to do with your display drivers being corrrupted after windows installing updates

Says this computer does not meet the min requierments for this software.

That is strange, it's the right driver, unless you need the chipset drivers.
