AAARGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! Sorry, that's what your list of commands did to my poor mind! ehhe Yeah, I noticed in the system tray, sometimes, I'll see about 6-8 HP logos, so does that reflect what you are talking about with winactivates? Keep in mind, I don't recall having ANY loss of focus issues, this is the only problem I've come across so far that I can recall. Wait, that's not true, HP and fplaunch both haven't made me a cup of coffee yet but since I hate coffey, they're still winners with me!
