Tip: Full (or near full) screen Win 7 fix

Just a thought here but for those of you with lag in full screen mode.
If you play without the fix in full screen mode does the lag still occur?
If so the fix is not the problem only if it now does not occur is the fix doing something.

Imp it was pretty much unplayable in full screen mode due to the color distortion. After Night Crawler's explorer fix, I have to say though that I'm not experiencing this lag issue at all (in the middle of a long campaign now).

My laptop is a single core, shared video (ATI). Without seeing the problem in action, I'm wondering if it is a problem with duel (or quad) cores not being able to "share" the load properly. Not sure, but I doubt the game is optimized for multiple cores. This problem could even vary by manufacture/chip set as to how well it handles the instructions. There might be a way to force the use of a single core for a specific application. Just a theory. Make sure video and MB chip drivers are up to date too.

Realise that which is why I asked if any one with the lag problem bothered to try & see if it happened anyway. Without a baseline to go on I would assume its normal behavior on those machines & nothing to do with the fix.
