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...

Hi all I'm trying to help out some friends of mine who're not overly PC savvy & who've run into a problem that I'm equally at a loss to help them with. I appreciate, before I ask, that it may be equally tough for anyone here to know how to track down the problem, but hope that perhaps the info...
