hello, a few of my games when first installed are forced to minamize.. at first i had no idea what was going on.
then i noticed a pattern of sorts.. some of the games that are not forced to minamize when i install them. start with defult res streched across all 3 screens altho... i have single screen mode active. then i installed supreme commander 2 demo yesterday and got the minimization problum again
so i plugged in my monitor directly came up fine change the res to my normal setting 1600x1050. closed the game pluged back in my th2go and started up the game works grate... but.... why is this happening... i really hate crawling under my desk with a flashlight tryin to unplug things to get things to work thats just not how it works..

altho that dose seem to fix the problum im up for suestions

ps my spelling sucks so sorry

This is probably because the game initially runs at a low resolution like 1024x768. For some reason, TH2G sometimes fail to switch from your native resolution to a low single-screen res.

Next time this happens, try this:
-set your desktop res to 1024x768
-maximize the game
-adjust the resolution in-game
When you exit the game, set your desktop back to its native res. The game should launch normally from now on.

normally when this happens i have to edit the modes available on the TH2Go. So as a standard i usually keep 1280x720 and 640x480 in the mode list.

PS: another thing you can do is plug in a secondary monitor switch it to main, configure the game and then switch the TH2Go to main.
