Thanks for taking the time.
For whatever reason, windows is moving away from the chat boxes back to the main window, so that if I’m in the middle of typing a message, I need to reselect the chat box to continue. This wouldn’t bother me if it happened every hour, but it happens several times a minute. It always moves windows back to the main application window.
Also, when the program is open it moves window’s focus away from whatever program I’m using. It’s minimized games etc, right now as I type, I’m having to reselect firefox as my pc keeps returning to the yahoo window as it’s focus.
I’ve checked the usual problems list on the sticky, but this is probably quite an unusual one.
I’ve recently installed windows 7 64 bit and am running the latest version of messenger, 10.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Anyone?
thanks for your information.great job.
sorry?
i would imagine it’s another application that is stealing the focus
what other apps have you running that needs refreshes or refreshing.
Boot your computer into safe mode. (F8 just before the ‘Starting Windows’ boot screen). Does it happen there?
