Games only run in a window.

Exactly what it says! It's so weird, every time I try to run any game, it fails to start up except in a window!

Supreme Commander tells me to ensure my system meets hardware requirements, Half Life 2 tells me that there is a d3d device error.

dxdiag comes up with no problems, and the games work perfectly when run in windowed mode.

dx by default forces your monitor to run @ 60hz, is your monitor able to support this @ the res you are running?

Did you reinstall the latest Nov 2007 DirectX? Try that, reboot, and let us know what happens.
