Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Steveo?
I asked around but was unable to help you, no one had heard of your problem before, it was suggested to me that the problem could be with your hard drive as it gets warmer but they thought you would have other problems appearing first.
If you still need help I will keep trying to find a solution.

Re: silly computers
 

There are certain programs that allow themselves to be hidden when minimized, what programs are you having problems with?

Re: silly computers
 

I'm sure if anyone knew the answer they'd be only too willing to help. It isn't something I've ever come across before but the fact that it doesn't do it all the time makes me think it may have something to do with either temperature or the number of programs you have running.

thankyou for your help.....will have to just put up with..............:confused: :(

Re: silly computers
 

No you don't have to put up with anything, just gives us a bit more info and I'm sure we can find the answer.

Steveo, does it happen with all programs or just some? Does it happen with any window? For example "my documents" ?
