Title: OA regularly does unwanted ALT-TAB under Windows
Post by: piet on December 27, 2008, 03:28:20 AM
Hi guys,
with the most recent OA-Version I get confusing behaviour under WinXP.
Esp. during heavy shooting the screen sometimes switches back to the Win-Desktop
like using ALT-TAB.
OA comes up by itself sometimes, sometimes I have to use ALT-TAB to get back
(usually being dead by then...).
Any idea?

Cheers
piet.

Hi,
Maybe you've got a process which tries to get focus.
Do you have a screensaver ? Or some specific application which runs at regular times ? Or some weird application in background ? ;)

Hi Cacatoes,

hm, now I shut down all other running processes (ICQ, Skype, GoogleDesktop, etc.) it seems to work.
I'll switch on processes one after another again and look what has been the "bad guy".
Thanks for your suggestions.

piet.

... back again.
It was a helper program activAid assigning a hotkey to left+rigt-mouse button switching windows.
Could have figured that out earlier...
