Games minimizing on dual monitors.

[Triggerpigking]

Hoping someone can help me with this as I have'nt been able to find a way to stop it.
Basically I got two monitors a while back, and for some reason alot of steam games(dark souls and five nights at freddy's come to mind straight away) minimize the second I start them, they go fullscreen, flicker a bit then minimize to the taskbar, and it does the same if I try to open it again from the taskbar.
I ignored this for a bit(to lazy to fix it XD) as they'd usually begin to work if I just spam clicked on them in the task bar but it's gotten worse now.

Any help would be apreciated :).

Games will mostly load up on your 'main display'. Have you set one up as a main? Can be simply done by right clicking on either desktop click 'screen resolution' and set 1 as main there.

What you describe can happen when the game's initial first boot does so with a resolution and refresh rate your main display doesn't like.

Can be annoying as you change these setting's in game. However most games will usually come with a file in there root directory/ subfolder of this or my documents where settings are saved and can be edited in a text document.

See if you can find such file and make sure resolution and refesh rate / vsync settings are compatible with your main display!

Yep I have one as my main, both monitors I have are different resolutions though if that makes a difference, one is 1280x1024 and the other is 1920x 1080.
I'll have to try what you said about changing the file in the root directory, thanks for the help :).

luckily i've managed to get dark souls workin now(it stopped acting up after I reinstalled it all weirdly).
