Re: Windows randomly switching window focus on top application

I'm running WinXP SP2 and don't appear to have any viruses and have ran anti spyware a few times from a few sources and am clean.

My issue is on 2 pcs.

What happens is if I have 1 or more applications of windows of any application open like this and I'm in the application typing or what not suddenly for no apparent reason I'm still typing however I hear clunk clunk clunk each time I hit a key stroke. Looking at the window I'm typing or working in I notice the blue banner is now grey meaning windows has changed focus on something else.
While either typing an email in Outlook or working online typing in anything on a webpage or scrolling or searching or clicking or even working in different applications on my systems I'll suddenly notice that the pc goes "clunk" A quick alt tab gets me right back however this is not a fix. I'm not hitting any other keys or doing anything like that.

I am a video editor as well and notice this in my video app as well like while just watching the timeline play and not touching anything I'll go to hit the space bar which should stop the play line, it just keeps going as my system somehow has pushed that window behind something. I'll have to either hit alt tab or click in the app to activate it to front priority.

This is also happening on my laptop doing all the sames things as I listed here.

What is this and how can I stop this from happening.
