A1. Is IE7 installed?

Yes. The issue seems somehow to be connected with the Adobe Reader 8.1 update. The other reply helped me solve it.

A2. What programs, fer instance?

I use Adobe Reader 8.1, WordPerfect 12, and the Freelang Dictionary 3.7.1 (http://www.freelang.net) together on a daily basis. What I do is use the Greek-English dictionary to find words from the Adobe Reader, and then use the WP Writing Tools dictionaries to find any words I didn't find at the Freelang dictionary. After finishing, I click the X of the WP writing tools to close them, and then the X at the top right of the window to close WP. When I do this, Freeland also closes simultaneously, while normally I'd have to click the X of its Search words window and then the X of its main window. It has been happening almost regularly for about a week now. Weird. I did not think there was any way to close 2 different programs simultaneously in Windows anyway, unless of course you turn off the computer, but obviously it can happen.

It's more of an annoyance, since after closing WP I would also close Freelang, but it's not right and I am worrying that something is wrong with my computer.

BTW, Freelang has an Automatic Clipboard search feature, so when I copy a word within the Adobe Reader, Freelang automatically finds the word. Sometimes also Windows brings the Freelang window on top, but usually that does not happen.

Is there any way to have Windows make a log to see what's going on? This peculiar behavior is more or less reproducible if I follow the same sequence of actions, though not in every case. -Eustace
