j7n Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I am running Windows XP Pro SP1. Under some circumstances all my opened become "topmost". It becomes impossible to switch to another window by pressing Alt-Tab or clicking a taskbar button. I must press "minimize" on each window or "show desktop" to switch and it drives me crazy. After some time (again I don't know what causes this) windows return to normal behaviour.I've experienced this defect on three installations of WinXP SP1. Never under Win98(FE/SE). How to get rid if it? Is there a kbd shortcut to trigger this state?
JedMeister Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Sorry I've never experienced anything like that. Which programs does it do it for? Is the guilty program chewing up a lot of CPU cycles or 'hanging' in some way? When you minimise does it respond immediately or delayed? Have you done a thorough scan for malware?BTW, any reason why not SP2 or even SP3?
