PC still loosed focus
The old timer:
I haven't tried any other Keyboard/mice other than the ones mentioned in previous posts. When I plug in the cordless receiver/transmitter I get the audio signal from Windows but pressing the button to make connecting to both nothing happens even with new batteries. They don work on another PC howerer.
I will have a friend back in a few days time that is likely to have another keyboard/mouse to try.
Shane:
Try to use a normal usb keyboard and mouse and not a wireless one just to be sure :wink:

Finally I was able to borrow another Keyboard/mouse. Sad to say,nothings changed. I can open a half a dozed different programs & each one stays on top of the previous one. If I run the cursor across the icons on task bar each one has its preview.
If I open Notepad or Notepad ++ they both just flash for a fraction of a second & drop to the task bar. If I run cursor across the task bar to their icon I get the preview but its often difficult if not possible to reopen them unless I start shutting everything else down.
Another problem related to this is when I tell the machine to shut down & Windows says that I have open Windows that must close first. You can't just tells it to close down anyway but have to drill down to find what program is open so that you can close it.
Thanks in advance
Shane:
Lets try disabling the desktop manager service which make the glass effect and such in Windows. At least as a test anyways, I always turn it off anyways because of the cpu usage it does and I like my system to be as fast as possible, so i dont have all the pretty things running lol.
So easiest eay to disable the service is to open a cmd.exe window as administrator, and then copy and paste this
sc config UxSms start= disabled
And then hit enter and it should say it was successful. If it did go ahead and reboot and see how it does :-)

I have done this. The only difference that I can see is if I hover cursor over icon I see the program name rather than a preview of page. Notebook & Notebook ++ still behave as before closing as soon as they open.
Thanks in advance
