All of the sudden, when I have multiple programs running, ALT-TAB and/or clicking the programs on the task bar do not restore the program. I ahve to minimize other windows to get to the program I want. Know what I mean? No?
ALT-TAB will switch a program in the TAB screen but the current program stays open. The same way as if I have Netscape up front, I click Explorer on the task bar, Netscape stays up.
Only way to get to a program is to minimize the other windows.
Any ideas? Thanks.
God bless.

I suggest first scan your pc for virus. If your pc is negative with virus, then try to check the folder settings and look for any unsual setup . hope it works.

May, I have actually been trying to close out this ticket for days but the TechRepublic techs refuse to respond to my emails. Everytime I tried to remove this unanswered question, it says page invalid.
I found the problem is only related to one program. When open, I can not bring up any other screens. Since I figured it out, that is why I have been trying to close this tik out for 2 weeks.
Sorry you had to answer this when I found the problem already. Now I get to finally close it out.
Sorry you answered this one. I tried to close it but they (TR techs) did not reply back from 2 emails I sent.
However, in being able to now close this ticket out because you answered it and I can close it normally, you get the points just for that. Thanks.
