Hi everyone! This is an extremely annoying problem that I have no idea how to fix.

Whenever I have a window open for some reason after about 5 seconds it becomes inactive.

This is really bugging me and I really dont no how to fix it, hope anyone has any ideas!

Thanks alot in advance...

do you get a error code

[will7577]

Nope, it simply becomes inactive. An example is when I am msn and I am typing and then after about 5 seconds I look up and see that it hasnt been typing for a while....very annoying!!

Nope, there arent any. I have a feeling that it might be something to do with msconfig....because recently i changed my startup to make my computer run faster but I am really not sure what I need to change there to fix this minor but stupid problem.

hi, welcome to geeks, my hunch would be that either your protection is filtering or that some other process is clashing with the process you are doing.

ideas:
- have a look at your startups in msconfig seeing which ones you don't need to be running in the background while you are using you computer
- have process manager open while working and observe what happens when the computer lags

post back if there is either something you don't understand here, or if no joy

ah, I see that you have answered before I replied,

simply reenable all the start ups in msconfig and reboot to have them all running

to see what processes are running:
runbox command
- press: winkey + r
- type: taskmgr
- press: enter
look up those running processes in this database link:

to get ride of the program behind the processes:
runbox command
- press: winkey + r type: appwiz.cpl
- press: enter
seek advice on which programs you can uninstall

to choose which programs start on boot:
runbox command
- press: winkey + r button
- type: msconfig
- press: enter
- click: startups
don't disable the starts ups for antivirus and firewall,
check the other start ups in this database
