Sad Games run minimised

Ever since I have used the 40x dets most of my games start minimised, I have to click the program on the taskbar to maximise it, and some games wont even stay maximised/fullscreen .

Has anybody else had this problem?

Try diss-abeling visual themes in the compatability part of that game and it should work thats what I had to do.. Also directx version 9 causes this on a lot of games.
