Windows program stuck on top

I had this problem in a couple different applications now.  Namely Outlook 2013 and RSLogix5000 v20 (programming software).
When all new windows, drop-down controls, etc. appears behind the window of the program as the focus is stuck on this window.
I tried to update on the latest video drivers and it still happens.  If I close and re - open the program, the problem is gone for now, but may show up later.  It affects all programs that are open at the same time.  This is a laptop Dell M6700 that uses technology Optimus for 4000 Intel and Nvidia chips K3000 video inside.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Your problem is caused by the "Color of Prime Minister" utility that is installed on your computer.  I have a Dell M6700 as well.  If you exit the utility 'First color' (current running in the system tray), or completely uninstall, windows will be stop stuck on top.
I ran uninstall it, rebooted and have not had the problem since.

    The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

    The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

    Make sure that the computer is clean:

  • How ID programs & application developers and the purpose of programs on the list of Windows programs - Windows 7

    I use Windows 7 on a 21 iMac machine.  I use an Apple software "Bootcamp", dividing the HD 500 GB between the OSX and Windows 7 operating system. I want to edit/purge my software and apps, so I'm going to Windows programs and this is the problem I have. If I down - loaded the program and I do not have the installation CD Rom disc, I can't determine from the Windows programs list exactly what programs are for icons and minimal description in the list of Windows programs.  I don't remember what it is that some of them do, but God knows my computer don't you, and if I delete something I shouldn't remove, I'll have a sick computer or worse!  All I get are, for the most part are '... you want to uninstall this program?  But of course I didn't not without knowing what the heck I'm going to do to my
    computer. The program, the file name, extensions and the icons are really confusing and for a layman, incomprehensible.  It seems the developers
    programs do business using trade or brand names that so little has nothing to do with the function or purpose programs.  Windows updates are not the worst, but they are at the top of the list.  I have faithfully and automatically download all Windows updates. Why. like Mickey?  I have no idea, but I trust MS (in general) to do the right thing by me and not screw up my Windows 7 operating system.  What I have to download anything that comes my way?  Probably not, but if it comes from MS or big players, I trust, MS and Adobe, Corel, etc., enough for to update, but
    If I want to stream line my programs and get rid of the ball and keep only the wheat, I need to know what I got for free or paying over the years.

    Suggestions are requested if all goes well and will be read carefully, even followed, if keep you it simple.  Thank you!

    Oh and by the way, never uninstall updates that is sent to you via Windows updates.  As you think, Microsoft publishes these updates for specific reasons and they should never be uninstalled.

  • How to connect to a windows OS to IOS and run a windows program?

    Hi all

    I would like to know if possible to run a windows program (i.e. DIR or WINVER) on a machine windows on the network via a computer of IOS command line is connected to the same network. Basically, I have 2 computers in a network, a MAC OS and the other is WINDOWS. MAC OS I want to run a command of windows inside the windows machine.

    For example, via the terminal in my mac I want to connect on the windows machine, and run any windows program I have in the windows machine.

    I know it's possible to do on linux via the command line WMI Windows Management Instrumentation command-line.

    Do we have something similar to the WMI for IOS command line?

    Rodrigo.

    I'm confused. You mention a PC (Windows OS), Mac OS (Apple computer) and iOS (Apple iPod touch, iPhone and iPad operating system).

    You can get apps that allows a computer iOS to use a computer mac or Windows computer such as LogMeIn or GoToMyPC.

    Yu can also get the app that allows you to use your Mac to access a PC.

    Hello!

    It's happened since I got a virus a months ago who was preventing the computer to start. She came back from the repair shop and it begins again now. But after a few hours of using Firefox, this message pop up at random:
    "Windows cannot find"C:\Windows\Program Mozilla Firefox Firefox\firefox.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. »
    Example: http://www.risingroad.com/foxhound/faq/images/Windows%20cannot%20find%20firefox.jpg

    and Firefox still work after this message appears. I already uninstalled and installed new Firefox completely, and the message still appears upward. What this mean and is it harmful to the computer?

    I'm on Windows 8

    I had the pop up ads sensation can cause the problem and talked about it to the engineer in computer science from my father. It installs Malewarebytes and there was indeed still a maleware by repair men left. The difference was, Chrome to view the full announcement page while Firefox may have in maintaining security to block this kind of page, and the result was the error message. (I didn't know that because it happened to me on my computers to the precedents and even Firefox used to show me the ad then) Thank you for warning me.

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird to my Windows programs "Uninstall list"; Why does not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating... under windows ' programs/uninstall a program "list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER that I have removed completely (I thought) from my computer. I clicked on 'uninstall' several times and nothing happens. I can't take the fact that Mozilla has set it up so that it can apparently be deleted from this list... What is everything? I tried to research the problem, even by using your Web site without success. All what I want to do is get out of my list to uninstall/change. I used this program AND will not use it. I don't want this program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    It is a problem with the management of Windows applications. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the installation/uninstallation process.

    You could re - install Thunderbird so re-synchronization of the list of applications, then uninstall again, or you could use a utility to remove from the list.

    A search of thunderbird.exe will confirm whether or not it was really deleted, but you may need to disable all the fool-proofing that implement Microsoft for not to see the true state of the file system; Configure to display hidden files and the extensions of file to start.

    Thunderbird is almost independent. You are free to delete manually the folder that the application resides in if Windows fails to uninstall it for you, but that will not solve the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.
