Title: Resolution problem? (damn video cards. Fing ATI)
Post by: Stealth on May 23, 2004, 12:37:34 pm
i have an ATI Radeon 9200.  it's not a good video card, i know, but it's going to have to do for the next few months.

whenever i play Starcraft, i can always ALT+TAB to my desktop, then go back in, and everything works fine... but since yesterday, when i alt+tab and go back in, it works fine for a few seconds, but then when i move my mouse, everything screws up... kind of like:

what can i do to fix it?  i can't stand not being able to ALT+TAB to do something, then going back to the game.

Starcraft has always done that with various video cards.. only way to fix it is to alt-tab again, or failing that restart the game.

yeah i've had to restart the game every time :(  but what's weird is the last 2 or 3 months i've had the card it's never done that before.  and at LANs, all my friends always alt+tab, and it works all the time. :( :(

Did that to me on my GF2 also. Haven't installed SC again, since my last reformat, so I dunno how my 9600'll do it.

Does that on my little brother's integrated-on-mobo-chipset thingy as well.
