When I run CoH in full screen mode on my Alienware Aurora desktop it seems to work fine but when I try to run it in windowed mode I get a completly black window and I cannot interact with the game in any way.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I'm going to guess skinning software since fullscreen doesn't have any Windows frame elements to muck with. I think Alienware ships with a version of Windows Blinds preinstalled, by Stardock.

Thanks, disabling Stardock Mycolors worked.
