Hey I've been searching the net for a solution to a minor issue thats bugging me alot and couldn't find any, I seek help!
The problem is following. When I click an icon on the taskbar two things normaly happens:
1. If I don't have the program running, say mozilla firefox, it will start.
2. If I have two or more windows up of the same program a smaller window will hover up above the icon showing thumbnails of all the open windows.
Now this stopped working for me, for example, I click the mozilla icon and the small window with the thumbnails pops up for like half a second, then closes again. I cant access any of the mozilla windows, and this goes for all applications that can have 2 or more instances running - msn messenger with many conversations for example.
Its really annoying, and I didnt have this problem yesterday. I cannot think of anything that would make it happen, I havnt installed anything new and I havnt updated any drivers or done any changes. Restarting the computer doesnt work.
The only way for me to access a program now is to hold the mouse over the icon and wait until the window pops up with the thumbnails, and then hope it stays so I can access one of the windows. Sometimes it can take a few minutes.. Clicking the icon just makes it 'collapse' again.
Please I need help
*edit*
I just found out I cant alt + tab between programs either. It somehow resets every second and interupts the browsing.. I am starting to think I have a virus.
