Heyo! After some research, I'm pretty sure my problem is called Focus Stealing, I've looked at a bunch of forums/threads on the internet but each seem to have individual symptoms etc so the fix to someone's problem is not the same fix to someone else's. This is probably going to be a long...

This is not the end of the world, but it is an annoyance. One of my application icons (3DS Max 2012) has gone generic. This is true for the original application and its shortcut. Double clicking still opens the app; I just wonder why this is happening? (Let me stress that I'm talking about the...

For some reason, at random, a little information box will pop up, saying I/O Error 32, and all I can do is press 'OK'. But if I don't, it pops up with the box multiple times and doesn't stop. Could anyone tell me what could possibly be causing this? It's starting to get annoying. Thank you!

Every once in a while my laptop takes about 20 minutes to re-configure Windows 7, shutting down and restarting and taking me back to where I was working before. Although I do not lose the document I am working on, this is rather annoying. Why is this happening? Thanks in advance, NOTLguy

I have a Deltaco USB bluetooth adapter that I want to use to connect a wiimote to my computer to play games with. But when I plug the adapter in, the computer acts as if the up arrow-key is being constantly pressed down, making it scroll upwards or flip through options constantly. Nothing short...

I do like W7 but there are one or two annoyances, one particular annoyance is that there isn't enough padding or empty space around files in a folder when you want to select them, (when you have large icons selected that is!) XP was ok for that, it didn't matter what size icons one had... Not a...

For example, if I'm typing in Word, randomly the Word application/window will get unselected, as if I clicked something else. I won't be able to type anymore until I click the Word window again, it's pretty annoying too since I'm a fast typer. And this happens with everything. Games, browsers...
