• Active window keeps off activation

  The window, in that I work keeps "dropping out" while typing, so disabling is the right term. It is with all the programs, therefore, seems to be a Windows problem (I'm on Windows 7).

  I use a laptop computer with keyboard and mouse remotely is not "brushing the touchpad. Sometimes, as an open window, so it's not "switching" between the windows.

  Don't know if these are questions related or not, but I get also some windows (for example control panel MacAfee) to come in white and others have off very quickly as they are currently considered.

• Windows 8 keep switching between screens

  Not "app mail" problem as shown in 'windows under heading' but no problem selected in the list for me to choose. Microsoft issue again.

  Windows 8 keep switching between windows. Word and internet or even just internet screen goes by the United Nations, highlighting the window, then 10 seconds later highlights the window again.

  Even while typing on this issue, it happens, and words and letters get spleen and loose spacing between words.

  Does the same thing when you type in a Word document, even if nothing else is running.

  I'm gone in "Configuration", 'change pc settings', 'general', off "allow to switch between recent applications" and turned off "when I drag from the left edge etc." but always keeps switching between windows.

  I removed all the 'apps' as well.

  It is not do it in "safe mode" cannot run what whether in 'safe mode' obviously, so it is useless.

  Nothing in Windows can do, so make sure you follow what you install and remove any element t - it.  If you see happen, feel free to post back and I'll work with you.

  Microsoft is no not any product that activates applications even if you do not touch the computer.  It may even be a virus.

• Windows Media Center starts by itself

  Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

  Hello world!

  I just wanted to clear the confusion.
  Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
  Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
  Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
  There are many ways to skin this cat:
  Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
  2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
  3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
  5. Close the window Services and reboot
  B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
  1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
  2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
  3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
  4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
  5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
  C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
  1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
  3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
  4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
  5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
  6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
  7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
  8. Close the registry editor and then restart
  You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
  Let me know if the above help solves your problem!

• dual monitor shortcut past active windows

  Hello.  I have a problem when the active window (independent of the program) switches between my two monitors when I press the numbers 1 and 2.  1 moves the window to my secondary screen, while 2 returns the window to my primary monitor.  It happens intermittently, but it's still incredibly annoying.  Is there a way to disable this feature or at least identify the behavior that initiates this response?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  I know for sure that Windows itself can not do this with the numerical keys (she uses the key combination Windows + SHIFT + arrow to move an application to another monitor).  But nVidia and ATI video card drivers have both include some shortcuts like this.  That would be my first recommendation to begin.

  What video card you have, if you know?

• I think to buy a PC used with an active WINDOWS 7

  Please let me know how do I change the owner of WIN 7.

  I think that the owner of the PC has MS he gave by activating WINDOWS 7 so that the operating system is on his name.

  In any case please let me know how can I do after buying the PC.

  Thank you very much.

  Create a new account, and then delete the old account used by the previous owner to your new account:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

  After creating your new account, log into it.

  1. Click Start, type: user account

  2. Click on manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Click the account you want to remove, and then click on delete account.

  4. Decide if you want to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking on the file to keep, or delete files.

  5. Click on remove account

  Option 2:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• I tried to open a bookmark and its opening in an active window, such as an image, not a separate tab or window. What is going on?

  I had problems with Firefox hanging (seems related to Flash on a particular Web site). During his last hours of troubleshooting, including on the phone with the assistance of my ISP, it was recommended I "Refresh" of Firefox. I've done it before, and I did it yesterday again. This morning I opened Firefox to my homepage (my ISP Portal), checked my email, disconnected from the email, this tab closed, open two other forums and Photobucket - three tabs open in the window - to post pictures and contribute to the discussions in the forums. Once completed, I've disconnected from forums and Photobucket, each firm separately tab, and then quit Firefox. (While in Photobucket, Flash has crashed several times... but this is not unusual with Photobucket in my experience. It's a different problem, I always deal with... but he immediately forgets...) As part of "Refresh" yesterday, I set Firefox to clear the cache and cookies and other files to quit.

  Later in the day today, I opened Firefox, portal of my ISP opened as usual and expected (my "Home page"). Sometimes, instead of close the window/tab, I just open a bookmark and it will open in the same window, but by replacing the previous window and its contents. I.e. the procedure normal functioning for me. You know, rather than having two windows open where I have to close one, I have just the bookmark opens instead of the original content of the window.

  Today (and it happened before today, but rarely), open the bookmark page as if it was a picture in the active window... otherwise said, my ISP Portal occupies about 3/4 of the window, but more on the left side of the window (not another tab or a window, but in the same window) is a thin view bookmark page. This new web page - quite foreign to the original page - has a scroll down bar, but can be made to fill the window... the previously opened web page acts as a barrier to the pleasure of the 'new' image/web page. While I can understand the right border of the "new framework" and drag it to the right, he still cannot push the 'old' web page of origin of the road... the old page reached a minimum limit and I get a split screen of two completely different websites mode contained in exactly the same active window.

  The 'new' frame has an 'x' at the top right, so I could close... but my question is, why it is opened in web page/window...how from a completely different company can two web pages from completely different organizations/companies/websites are the same active window in Firefox? I have... attached screenshots. And, oh yes, not to mention that the HOW and WHY, how can you prevent (or is the best thing to just right click and open in a new tab or window...?) Which is not always convince me... I am someone who needs to know WHY something happened that should not have happened. It drives me crazy when something strange happens and the 'solution' is to change MY behavior. (You know, like if YOU were the problem, but I need to change MY behavior Instead of correct what's wrong with YOU... When YOU could make all of the obsolete situation.)

  Thanks for everything you can suss out...

  You can check this bookmark in bookmarks (library) Manager and expand the details pane by clicking the button more.

• Firefox is no longer new window when I drag the contents of the active window outside the browser.

  After just upgrading to Firefox 9 of Firefox 3.6, I noticed that a certain element is missing. In the old version, I could drag the contents of the tab out of the browser or the active window and it would automatically force this content in its own window again. I found this feature extremely useful, and I can do it no longer. That's happened? There just is no longer supported or is this a bug? If it is not supported, how can I reopen the current window/tab in a window again like before?

  It works if you drag the tab slightly downwards in the browser window?

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?

• Active window loses focus

  All past this problem recently. It began not with an upgrade of the OS, if I had just restarted the computer after having been passed away on a trip.

  The active window, I have been working in suddenly loses focus, sometimes in the middle of a Word, I care. A moment I am typing away and all goes well and the next moment every keystroke causes a "thunk" sound effect and I look for my strikes were not registered and the three tasks in the upper left corner color (buttons close, reduce and fullscreen) are grayed out. I do a mouse click in the window to make it active again, and all is well for a while until that happens some time later.

  When you find the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

• List of open and active/Windows Forms displayed within Windows XP 7 v/s windows on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the status bar

  Salvation OR,.

  We found that the list of forms/open windows displayed in Windows XP (on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the windows taskbar) seems to indicate all open and active windows/forms in the application.

  We would like to know how to enable the same functionality in a Windows 7 environment. The best we can do now is to double click on the name of the application on the windows taskbar to switch between active windows/Forms in the application. We would like a menu similar to the windows XP appearance about running on Windows 7 when it comes to this particular feature.

  Thank you and best regards,

  -Ashish

  The taskbard has changed significantly in Windows Vista and 7. You can get a similar functionality to what you call by customizing the taskbar in the taskbar properties. In addition, now press SHIFT key while right-clicking to display a menu similar to what you show in your screenshot, except that it does not display the name of the element. In Windows 7, the feature make you is typically done by hovering over the icon in the bar tasks and selecting one of the points of view which appears above the element.

  You can use the Windows shellapi to do a limited customization of the task bar, but this API is very difficult to use and I would not recommend this approach.

  CVI provides a method to change the name of the item in the taskbar (see this KB), but it does not add the name after the restoration in the context menu.
