Demo acts real wierd when I start it, sort of crashes to desktop...

[nerdboyxxx]

Yeah, so I downloaded the demo off steam and tried to run it. I changed my settings all to max (my specs say I can run this game fine, but I'll post them anyway just in case) and I selected fullscreen, 1680x1050. It started up, then it just minimised to the desktop and my cursor was stuck in the top left-hand corner of teh screen. I had to spend 3 minutes tabbing through task manager to get it to stop running so I could make this forum post, lol.

So, I guess I'm wondering if there is a similar problem with a current fix .

Specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Video Card: NVidia GeForce GTS-250
OS: Windows 7

If you need any more information I'll add it to this post .

For me this was caused by firefox constantly stealing focus. Once I closed it the game started up in fullscreen no problem

more to the point, if shutting down FF fixes this for you, making this tweak to my FF also worked for me http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/07/secre...owser.html
