HELP!.................

[Trev Clark]

They say problems come at the same time. Last week I lost my internet (along with the whole village) and now I have a prblem with all things on my PC that use full screen (both Open GL and Direct x stuff).

After 10 minutes exactly, they reduce to the taskbar on he desk top. the games just pause and never crash.............any ideas??? I can onlypick up any info you give in a few days, so hopefully someone can shed some light. I have re installed and changed driver on the video card, this helps for an hour and then it comes back :think:

First thing I would check are the screen saver/hibernation settings. Right click on the desktop, select properties and check the Screensaver tab. Also click the "Power" button on the Screensaver tab and check that.

Just a WAG reall, but worth checking.

Thanks Nigel, it was a virus :shock: , I have bought a better anti virus programme that repaired things, so hopefully (as the Spanish have fixed my connection ), all now seems OK :think:
