    Windows 7 and games default to run minimized

    Over the last few days I installed BHD on 2 Windows 7 operating system. In both cases the game defaulted to run in a minimized screen. A search on goggle returned alot of players running into this same problem with other games doing the same thing, with no anwer on how to fix it.

    In my case updating the vid driver and chip set fixed it. Just a heads up for any one that runs into this.

    Thanks Reaper
    This is handy to know, But does it work properly if you use the task manager (while the game is running) and chose the "swith to" option under the applications tab?

    BTW how's it going with OD?

    Once the driver was updated everything worked as it should.

    OD, I have been rescaling and reskinning some objects, I think the lighted objects ie the s&s objects and spot light are dumping because I didn't use a texture on the lighted partof the object. Some objects may have to many parts and that may be why some of them cause dumps to.


    I still have some person issues demanding my time and the truth is I really needed a break from modding, I have been playing some c4, a few maps a few times a week. Been playing BHD and Joint Ops with my Daughters also.
