It seems to happen randomly, but I will be in a program (Media Player Classic, World of Warcraft and other games) and whether or not they are maximized I will randomly be "booted" from the program. For instance I will be playing World of Warcraft and I will be moving around or typing...

Hello, I hope you are doing well. When I open some types of files, such as image files (e.g. jpeg, gif), they appear in the taskbar and blinks there, telling me that it is open. However, I would like all files that I open to take focus and show up right away, instead of having me click on the...

Hi all. Well, I bought Windows 7 Ultimate and installed the x64 version and am generally very happy with it - as one of those people who completely avoided Vista. This is my first bug/annoyance finding. :frown: I have the chosen the following Start Menu folder/button items to display...

Am I alone in hating the way Windows 7 handles windows focus? I guess in a way it's good that a dialogue doesn't pop up in the middle of typing or clicking, resulting in an unintended answer to the dialogue, but too often I find myself missing new windows. Say for example a website has a...

I recently installed Windows 7 RC1 x64 from the download Microsoft had been providing. I have many questions about it as a new user to Windows 7 and am curious if there are solutions to these, or if they are known bugs. Also, some questions are more general in nature. 1) Sometimes while using...

I've had Windows 7 RC1 for a few months now, and up until now it's been working flawlessly. Now when I'm doing anything, I click with the mouse, the window loses focus to another window. This is hard to describe but I've noticed that some of the open programs on the taskbar also disappear but...

Unlike previous versions of Windows I do not have automatic change of focus when I open or close an application. For example: if I'm browsing a pictures folder and I open one of the pictures it doesn't automatically make Picture Viewer the active window, nor does it make the folder I opened the...

In WinXP, the Start Menu's focus was on the menu itself. If you hit 'P' it would open the "Programs" folder. In Vista & Win7, the Start Menu's focus is in the Search feature. To get into the Programs folder you must hit 'Up', 'Enter', then 'Up'. Is there a way to have the focus of the Start...

Hello, Currently I'm running 2 3d games. When I switch from one to the other the audio for the other (now out of focus) mutes. If 2d applications such as flash or windows media player are playing audio, the sound for the 2d app is played regardless of window focus but the 3d app will lose...
