| | Uncontrolled Switching Between Windows My computer starts uncommanded switching between windows after I have been working for two or three hours with three or four windows working. The switching appears to be in the alt/tab mode with the windows appearing and jumping continually. I can't use any conventional method to correct the problem accept a hard shut-down (hold the pwr button down). When I restart everything comes up normal until the next uncommanded switching occurs. Using Vista Home Premium. -- Richard A. |

Try a different mouse, particularly if you have a wireless one. If you have wireless keyboard/mouse, first try replacing the batteries. If that doesn't help, then try a completely different devices - one change at a time, testing after each change. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

| | Re: Uncontrolled Switching Between Windows I have a wireless mouse and a wireless presenter. I will try to eliminate one or the other or both and see if it solves the problem. I don't know when I'm going to have the problem so it may take a while to resolve. Thanks for the helpfull suggestions. Richard A. -- Richard A.

| | Re: Uncontrolled Switching Between Windows Have not installed any new applications. Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to restore to an earlier date if the problem persists.
