Resolution Woes

Recently, i've been having trouble with my desktop appearing black after exiting (two specific) games that i run at a lower resolution (1024x768) than my desktop (1152x854).

I played Rome:TW for the last few weeks without any problems whatsoever, then i installed Morrowind and it's expansions and had no problems with that. The first time i played Rome after the installation of Morrowind it loads up fine and plays fine, then i quit and the monitor changes resolution back, the cursor appears but the screen stays black. I can move the cursor, and (apparently) can click everything on the desktop and open the start menu etc. i just can't see any of that, and have to shutdown or hit stand-by/wake up to get my desktop back on screen.

Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be and how i can go about fixing it?

Ta in advance.

Re: Resolution Woes

Sounds like there is a problem in the graphics system somewhere. I'm going to go with the standard "have you got the latest Forceware drivers" before anything else.

Re: Resolution Woes

91.47 came out today, so i'll give them a blast. :)

edit: updated the drivers, seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for the help. :)
