Just upgraded a drive to Vista64 with the latest drivers.

Having some trouble though with Matrox PowerDesk-SE.

If I do not first set my desktop to 3840x1024 and PowerDesk-SE is running, my games run in a small window on the center monitor.

Turn off Powerdesk... or set 3840x1024 BEFORE launching the game and it seems to work.

Is there an option I am missing somewhere?

I did *not* have this problem with Vista32....

I had a similar problem (had to press "Alt+Enter" to go full screen) and many others with Vista x64 SP1...

I tried real hard for three days to force myself to get everything working as well as XP, but it just never happened.

Finally I did something that made it as good as XP, I booted back to XP, will try Vista x64 again in a few months...
