    This has been happening ever since I switched to 163.44 drivers. If I choose any other resolution besides 1680x1050 in Quake Wars Demo, It doesn't display it in full screen. I've verified that Full screen option is checked with in the game. All of my other games work fine with lower resolution except this one.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    See pic below to see what I'm referring to...

    This has happened to me with Bioshock. I would just select windowed mode and apply. Then, after you are officially in windowed mode select full screen and hit apply settings. It should set you back to full screen.

    I tried what you suggested, and I'm still experiencing same issue when I go back to Full screen mode after being officially in the windowed mode. I don't want to revert to old drivers since I really like 163.44.
