Fallout – Weird border while playing fullscreen

fallout-3the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I have the following problem while playing some (Bethesda) games, if i set the game to fullscreen (non-windowed).

In the upper right corner of the screen, it looks like there is the regular " windows-window" border quickly blinking. Its's always the upper right corner (the three buttons your normally see in a window plus some extra empty space) and it annoys me to no end. It looks as if the game is trying to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode. I have only encountered the problem with bethesda games so far. I find it very hard to explain what exactly happens, but I hope some of you have encountered the same and know a solution


The card I am using is a Sapphire hd 7850

As far as I know, I am running the latest drivers for this card.

I do have some Rainmeter widgets on my desktop

Yea...this happens when you possibly play the game on the lowest resolution it can be easily solved be pressing alt + tab, or windows key + tab, then it take you off the game screen to your home destop.Once there click on the skyrim icon to go to the game again,of this doesn't work alt+enter will surely solve it.
