Not sure what the deal is here, it appears to all be set correctly to not make this happen. Playing around with it I can't get any other behavior (other than much worse). Maybe someone else can provide some insights here, I don't like Windows enough to keep playing with this.

I have also been getting this problem for a long time. It's somewhat annoying but it happens with several other games too (and with both ATI and Nvidia drivers), so it may be not a strictly FS2-related issue. It's not limited to the game resolution being lower than the desktop one, as I generally have it the other way around.

This is a windows thing not related to FSO.
