Your little logfgwin program worked a Treat!
It helped me catch the rogue program in action and I have now disabled
it.
FYI: It was the Belkin Wireless 'utiltity.exe' program which
occasionally went haywire (including soaking up 45MB of memory and
stealing focus (even though it was hidden) all the time).
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply and post this
program. It's people like you that make the news groups the great
place it is.

I have a problem with a newly installedWindowsXP Pro (like, less
than 3 weeks old) - fully patched up.
Upon power on and boot,windows(including login password entry) lose
focusafter about 1 second, requiring a click on them to regainfocus,
after which,focusis lost again.
This behavior goes away after about 5 minutes, but is most annoying.
One of my earlier solutions was to reboot, but my son noticed that a
reboot was not necessary and that simply waiting about 5 minutes was
sufficient.
I would not think it's a heat problem as the room has been fairly warm
lately (it's been about 40 degrees celcius for the last week)
Software includes AVG free virus, Adaware filter (registered).
At the moment a software called Spamihilator is known
for this because it cannot reach it's update server.
If it's not this then my private tool LogFGwin shoud
help, it logs the foreground window:http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/logfgwin.zip
It's not made for publishing and therefore very ugly.
But it should show you what process shows thiswindows. Simply let the tool run, wait until the
active window looses thefocusand then have a look in
LogFGwin's list. If it cannot resolve the EXE then search
for the pid (process id) in the task manager. Select
the Processes tab, in the menu 'View' -> 'Select Columes'.
Check PID here.
