    Is it happening with different drivers too? Try switching drivers.

    Also, try to tune down the resolution of your desktop to the same resolution as Bioshock. Then attempt to alt+tab and see if the windowed problem still happens. Maybe its because its switching resolutions its turn bioshock into windowed mode.
