Hey everyone,
About two weeks ago i started to have trouble with various applications in windows 7, up to that point everything seemed to work oki doki...
The first i noticed was that some games, namely World Of Warcraft and Crysis had major issues when i alt-tabbed.
World of Warcraft crashed completely if i alt-tabbed to the desktop with no way of returning to the game, I'v since learned to play in windowed mode and as long as i don't press the minimize button or alt-tab to the desktop, i can start applications from the task-bar and switch between them at will. Crysis is much the same, and Age Of Empires 3.
Then I saw another problem with Photoshop CS4 where some panels i had out would minimize themselves for no reason, fortunately Photoshop had no problems with alt-tab, and if i alt-tabbed out and back in the window would be there again, but usually disappear again a number of times.
Photoshop had another problem that was shared with Flash CS4, at random point the application would go into a spasm for about 10 seconds with windows flashing all over the place and the tab moving around the task bar like crazy.
I'm almost certain that I have all my latest drivers after running multiple driver checker programs, and my computer is definitely free of malware etc. It was a clean install, but nothing like this ever happened with XP, which im glad i kept on my second harddrive
If anyone wants any information that i could provide i would be be more then happy to supply it.
Anyone that gives any help will get a free hug
