XBMC is always minimized

i have XBMC auto start with eventghost and it starts minimized im running windows 7 64bit. I'm running in true full screen. I can make a full screen but if i goto standby then turn it on its minimized again. any ideas?

Maybe something is loading after XBMC

Theres also an advanced setting so xbmc always loads fullscreen but this wont help if its minimizing because something else is loading

right click xbmc > properties under run choose from drop down menu (maximized) should be last option.

Should be easier to find which ones doing it then Wink

If ccc is the driver manager console then I don't think it makes a difference, I am not a ATI user so I couldn't tell you for sure, if you disabled it and everything works you have your answer.

I always disable Ati ccc startup - no need for it - XBMC contr
oles your brightnes, contrast...so ati ccc controls for those functiones are disabled in ccc ( you need to anable them in ccc if you want to use them, but then you lose xbmc contol).
I think (not at home riht now) will chek it ASAP an let you know

As I wrote before my ccc i disabled on startup, if I need it for some reason I can still access it but if you enable it to control your color/contrast settings you wont be able to control them through xbmc

Thanks guys, for me it was also the Ati CCC that minimized XBMC after starting up the HTPC. Now it works like it should be.
