Can it really be that among the 20 billion pages that Google indexes, not a single one contains the phrase "won't switch windows"? A search for that phrase, in quotes, yields nuthin', and I have the screen capture to prove it... Yahoo turns up a mere 7. Msn turns up 3. This seems to me to be weird. (In case you're wondering, I'm having trouble today switching from one window to another, in XP. Clicking on inactive Windows doesn't activate them, unless I go to Task Manager first. I don't have to do anything in Task Manager, just open it via ctl-alt-del. It's intermittent and annoying. I'm guessing it's something that's starting up automatically. I'm working on it...)

I took the "won't switch windows" challenge, and Google came up with nothing.
Tried Kartoo and got a little further -- some results seem to be message boards for troubleshooting.
Dogpile (meta search w/ Google, Ask, MSN, Yahoo!)looks the best so far -- a whopping 9 hits.
I'm a librarian, so this vexed me...
I went to Microsoft's Windows support page and searched and got no results until I took out the "won't" -- 6 hits came up for just "switch windows". A start!

I often have this problem with XP when I've got some version of Adobe Acrobat running - either the in-browser reader or full version open separately. Once I close Acrobat things seem normal again. A solution? Sadly, no.
