Hey guys.
I just bought a new computer running Windows 7, and it is a great operating system.
However, I am having one minor problem. When I am running a fullscreen game such as counter-strike or left 4 dead and I minimize by either Alt-Tabbing or hitting the windows key, it partially shows my desktop (most of it is blacked out except for the taskbar and sometimes another fragment of the desktop) and it freezes there. The computer is still responsive though, I can move my mouse, and when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del and open up the Task Manager, Explorer appears fully and is completely responsive.
This isn't a horrible problem as I can fix it by opening Task Manager, however it is an annoyance to have to do that every time, so I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to fix this.
My specs are:
Windows 7 Home premium
AMD Athlon dual core 2.9ghz
4 gb of ram
Thanks in advance,
rob
