Re: Active Window



On 8/30/2007 7:42 PM On a whim, Colt45 pounded out on the keyboard

XP Pro SP2
When I have multiple windows open just rolling the mouse over one causes it's control bar to highlight; that is the control bar goes bright blue. If I click it comes to the front and becomes the active window. On some programs, such as Windows Picture Viewer, when viewing a picture then click Print, the printer windows comes to the front. If I accidentially permit the mouse to roll out of the print control window the picture comes to the front - did not clidk - and only way to get back to the print window is by using Alt/Tab.

Any ideas?

Hi Colt,

You don't have TweakUI installed do you? If so, do you have the X-Mouse setting activated? That would cause that behavior.
