ALT - tab does not recognize a program

I use Windows 7 Alt - Tab to navigate between open windows. I recently started to use Cognos Insight. I see an icon on the taskbar, but not in the Alt - Tab list. It is a way I can make Windows recognize it is open?

Never mind. Apparently, it was because I was in the middle of an import. Once I get back to the main window, Cognos Insight appeared on my list of Alt - Tab.

  • Found a solution for Alt Tab does not

    This isn't a question but a solution that took me about a month to find.  Always found Alt Tab to change the programs does not work, and when I flew over the bar at the bottom of the screen, the picture postage stamp of the application would be flashes on once before disappearing.  Sometimes, I could simply not an application open to maximize.

    Usually I use my HP laptop to a workstation, but when using it in another place, noted that the problem had disappeared.  Figured there was something on the workstation.  Tried to return to the job and work through a process of trial and error found was a Logitech USB Skype speaker.  It is a fairly old model - may 2007 - I got as a freebee when I bought a PC.  It does seem like Windows 7.  Disconnected and there is no other problem.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    We all love the good old Windows Alt + Tab feature to quickly switch between open windows. Although Windows Vista and Windows 7 provide Flip 3D feature to switch between open windows, most of the users of love again Alt + tab feature.

    If you regularly use Alt + Tab feature, then here is a small utility to fine tune. Alt + Tab Tuner is a small tool to tweak Alt + tab with ease settings.

    With Alt + Tab Tuner we can twist Alt + tab margins, grid inches, spacing, icon shift and size, size of thumb and transparency. In addition, it also lets switch you to the old Alt + Tab dialog.

  • Windows flashes when scrolling on in the task bar, Alt - Tab does not.

    OK it drives me absolutely crazy. for these past few weeks, my taskbar and alt - tab has been broken. When I move the taskbar of the program im trying to open just blinks but never actually maximizes.  I noticed that it only flashes I have my cursor over the icon. But if I leave it right on it to open its own it never made. Alt - Tab is also the exact same thing (which makes me assume that the question is related.) I click on buttons and pop-up windows, but does not open anything.

    I looked around and I know that this question emerged with a reliablitiy of windows there are few up-to-date kb977074, but wasn't in my update list. SO I now have no idea what to do. Ive played around with the parameters monitored for defective or damaged files, and really, I don't want to have to do a system restore. especially since ive restored my computer and he was doing it before I updated. so... ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. You have installed all the programs, application or updated before the show?
    2. How did you check the defective or damaged your system files?
    3. Do you receive an error message or error code while using the taskbar?

    Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

    Method 1

    Try to perform a full scan of your computer using Security Microsoft Scanner.

     

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, I suggest to check the integrity of the system and for this you may need to run the SFC (System File Checker).

    Scan SFC will be scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer, the information required and the result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  • Windows 7 - Windows key or Alt + Tab does not

    I have Windows 7 Home Edition, and suddenly my Alt + Tab feature has stopped working.  I use it regularly, so I don't know what I did to disable.  In addition, my Windows (the one next to the left Alt key) key stops working to bring up the Start Menu.

    The Windows key still works because when I press Windows + 3, it loads Google Chrome because it is the third in the taskbar...  Tab key works alone as well I use it to switch between the boxes username and password on log ons.
    I can't do not also appear in the windows program by clicking on the icons in the taskbar, taskbar icon won't turn on and flashes, but the actual program window is not pop up. I have to press the Desktop button on the right side of the taskbar to minimize everything and then bring up the desired program window.
    I've been shooting a few changes to my Windows 7 because I wanted to accelerate and I followed this Web site: http://www.computingunleashed.com/speed-up-windows-7-ultimate-guide-to.html
    I was also disabling some of the Start Up programs and services to speed up / save the battery power.  Is there a specific Service Microsoft need to Alt Tab functionality and the Windows key to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    • Is it on laptop or desktop?
    If it happens on the desktop, you can try to connect the keyboard to the computer of differnet and check.
     
    If it happens on your laptop, you can try to create a new user account and check. If it works in a new user account, then probably your user account have been damaged and would need a fix.

    Wow - that was a whole sentence, huh?

    Are the applications that you are trying to install from the CD or DVD drive?  If they are all CD, a CD of MUSIC playing when inserted?  If this is not the case - it could be your laser CD came out, but your DVD laser works very well.

    How can I convert .ai files in jpeg format?  It seems that I am only able to get the .ai files and my Adobe Photo Elements program does not recognize the file.

    I want to continue my membership with Adobe, however, not if it requires some additional software purchase.

    For .ai files, you will need to use or know someone who uses Illustrator or another program compatible .ai to convert. If you access a page of image details before license you can see the file type.
