Inactive Windows

[Guest]

So this is hard to explain, so let me try.

Recently, my computer has developed this little quirk that will take a
window that I'm working on it, and make it an inactive window. It happens at
random, and I can't seem to find the problem. For example, if I'm playing a
video game in full screen mode, the game will minimize, and my desktop will
appear... kind of like hitting Alt-Tab. Or, when I type this message, the
window will just become inactive. Nothing else will open, or replace it, but
I just can't type in that window again until I click on it.

Its pretty annoying.

Thanks

Norton Anti Virus didn't like this program at all. What is it exactly?

:

Read the information at the top of the page on Kelly's site where you
downloaded it. There is nothing malicious about her scripts. Kelly is
one of the most respected MS MVP's. What you got was a standard
response by Norton. Just accept running the script. Again...it's not
malicious.
