Windows 7 switching out of applications

Neil777 · 18 Jan 2012 at 07:06

I've just built a new machine with windows 7 64 bit but am having trouble whereby it is coming out applications and I have to click on them in the taskbar if it's a game or just click in the middle of the screen if it's a browser.

In the case of the browsers I can actually see when the bar at the top of the screen greys out to show that I'm not actually in that window.

Is there anything that windows 7 runs in the background that could be causing this?

As it happens I am, did you manage to fix it, it was never a problem in vista?

Well I've uninstalled comodo and it's still happening so something else must be doing it.

Fingers crossed but I think I've got to the bottom of it, my usb wifi device gives me an option of minimizing to tray or closing. I thought that closing it would stop the wifi so I've been minimizing it, anyway closing it has stopped the problem and doesn't seem to affect the wifi working.

Now do I re-install comodo or use microsoft security essentials?
