Simple problem.
I play a game that takes up the whole screen. When I ALT+TAB to get to the desktop, my wallpaper background decreases in size. I don't think I need to provide a picture because it's pretty simple. The wallpaper decreases to about 3/4 of the screen and is positioned in the top-left.

When I ALT+TAB from the game, there is a small black box that covers 3/4 of the screen first, THEN the wallpaper loads up covering that "black box".

I've always ALT+TAB'd from the game, and nothing ever happened like this before until about two weeks ago. It gets on my nerves having to reset the wallpaper all the time.
In addition- after resetting the wallpaper the first time, I do not need to reset it again unless I sign off my computer. It only happens the first time.

Thanks

Hi,

When you alt tab out of a game it's not unusual for the desktop to be reset to the resolution of the game. Try changing the resolution of the game to match the resolution of your desktop.

There's isn't really any solution It just stopped happening.

Two factors that might have helped with this problem, however, are:
- Changed my background image. Using GIF now, rather than JPEG.
- Installed a skin using WindowBlinds

It stopped right after I did the above two
I hope the problem doesn't come up again
