OK... This problem is starting to get on my nerves <_<

Every time I try to run a game that uses Direct3D -> I get
a blank screen and then it minimizes the program and I
can't restore it. When I tested D3D in DXDiag -> You
cancelled the test by pressing a key.

Someone suggested me to test if Direct3D works on a window
-> and it works, but won't in Fullscreen

I'm running on Win XP Pro SP1, DirectX 9.0c, latest Display
Drivers from NVidia (WHQL certified)

Motherboard: EpoX 8RDAEI (nForce2)
Display Card: Asus V9520/TD (GeForce Fx 5200)
