ATI Radeon 9700-9800 Pro Minimize Problem

Both of my 9700 Pro and my 9800 Pro cards have had this same problem. When i minimize an application (mostly games) and then i maximize the game's picture is all screwed up, pixellated and off color. Games ive had problems with are Counter Strike, Planetside, Lineage2, Unreal 2004, etc. I can usually minimize CS ONCE and maximize it, but then if i do it again for some reason it messes up... weird? I dunno if this is a common problem or not... a lot of people on mIRC said they have had this problem with their radeon cards too... If anyone knows of any drivers or tuning i could do on my settings PLEASE reply, ill be trolling here and im also in #arseNic on the Gamesurege network of IRC. Thanks.

    it's a fairly common problem that I've experienced in many games on different machines. I've never bothered looking for a solution since well I just never cared. I don't really have anything else to offer on the subject.

    D: I just always need to minimize from CS to irc, and i hate having to close CS to do it :\

    What version catalyst drivers are you using? Also, If you updated drivers --did you get rid of all the old drivers first? What OS are you running? I've got the Radeon 97000 pro, and have no problem with UT2004. Here's the link to get latest ATI drivers- http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html. And here's a link to driver cleaner- http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/. Whenever you update your drivers- make sure you clean your system completely form old drivers and graphics card software. Also here's a link to catalyst uninstaller & smartgart uninstaller-- http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/misc/catalystutils.html. Hope this helps.
