retarded computer question

[thatpfunk]

The Computer Forum sucks, this got 3 views in 4 hours.


I have no idea WTF happened. I installed a new driver for my wirelss and started using a new router. I restarted my computer.

Now, all the sudden, when I click things on my taskbar they no longer overlap what I am looking at. Example: I am reading 2+2, someone IMs me, I click on the taskbar box and it comes up but stays behind all my other open windows. Help me, please.

- <right-click> dead space on the taskbar
- properties
- uncheck "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows...
- ok
- <right-click> dead space on the taskbar
- properties
- re-check "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows...
- cross fingers

If you hit it a couple times will it minimize and then pop up in focus?

I think he's talking about the actual window not coming to the front, but I could be wrong.

Yeah I've had that happen periodically, and don't know what causes it. Sorry I don't have an answer.

it happens periodically to me as well and the only answer i have for you is to uncheck autohide taskbar. if you really need the extra window space then you can resize the bar so that it doesnt show, and then resize it when you need it again as this is what i have to do now and then. i think its a windows issue that has never been resolved.
