Thanks for the reply.
The programs i listed are just for examples, whenever i switch between any
programs that command prompt will show, but particularily with mIRC, only
when switching from mIRC to a full screen program will cause the command
prompt to repeatedly show itself unless i minimise it. If i switch between
any other programs or window, the command prompt will flash once. So I'm
quite sure it is not caused by certain programs and lies with vista. Could it
be possible that this is some virus?

I never played Warcraft specifically, but I have played other games that.
used full screen mode and have seen something like this. I would hazard a
guess that Warcraft may be running inside a command prompt, and that the
behavior you are seeing is because of this.
I would second the suggestion to contact other Warcraft users and see if
they experience the same thing.

I was worried about any issue posting the names of the programs but since
you
guys asked. For example of a program that experiences this very frequently
is
mIRC.
If i run a full screen game like Warcraft, and minimize it. Then i open
mIRC
and with mIRC window opened, i resume to full screen with Warcraft, after
a
few seconds of blackscreen it is suppose to go into the game but due to
the
issue I was redirected back to the desktop.
The command prompt window flashes too fast i could not get the name, i
think
it was /system32/attribute.exe or something like that

Yes, if you can be more specific (which programs, examples, etc, what
command
prompt?). From what you've stated, so far, I don't think it's a bug but a
peculiarity to your computer.

Yes, thanks for the explanation.
When my PC is in a full screen program, I minimized it, which after i
open
some application and if I return to that full screen program, a command
prompt will open for a split second which minimizes the full screen
program,
the only way i can stop this is to minimize all windows that are open
and
wait for the command prompt to flash again before entering the full
screen
program again.
Is this suppose to happen?

Not a bug. An anomaly.
A bug is a defect in the software code which doesn't allow the
software to
perform as expected or interferes with the software's performance. To
be
classified as a bug, the undesirable performance would have to
exhibit itself
in a vast number of user's computers under the same or similar
conditions.
An anomaly is a peculiar event that occurs in software operations.
The
anomaly can be irritating and may be a sign of conflicting software
or
hardware requests on the OS. An anomaly can also be a sign of damaged
OS
files.
If the program that you change to works, I wouldn't be concerned at
this
point.

Hi,
When using vista i realise that sometims when i switch between
certain
programs, there is a quick flash of 2 command prompt windows, this
is getting
irritating and iI couldn't find any fix to this. Is this a bug or
it is made
this way.If it is a bug, hopefully someone here has a fix for
it.Thanks
