Re: Active window becomes inactive



I do not use OE, never have. If I happen to have more than one window open,
one is always minimized to the taskbar. HOWEVER, even if I have just one IE
window open, it continually becomes inactive every two minutes or so. I can't
tell you how frustrating this is becoming. Even if I am typing something in
the active window, it becomes inactive on me and I have to click on it.
