Not sure where to put this...But my issue started with Win 7

My job gave me a copy of Win 7 Ultimate 64. 1st I must say that this OS is pure love. I know it probably a love/hate thing with the new taskbar...and I love it. I use Rocket Dock. Though obviously the taskbar is not as pretty, it is just as useful.

Like people suggested, I did a brand new install. Took me 20 minutes from disk insert to desktop.

I am looking for some help though. I am having issues with all my Battlefield games.

I have a 30" Dell 3008WFP as my primary monitor, and a 22" ViewSonic VLED221WM, as a secondary. Vid card is a gtx260 with latest drivers installed. I am using Nvidia's tools to span the desktop as opposed to Windows. Windows would not place my taskbar on the 30" and had issues with getting the desktop to span across.

Whenever I go to launch lets say BF2142 at 2560x1600 res, it instantly minimizes and stays minimized. The only way I can get the game to play is to either disable the 2nd monitor or play at a very low res.

It is only my BF games having this issue. Every other game runs fine.

Any help or suggestions anyone can give is appreciated.
