Exclamation Window Opens In Background

I am having an INTERMITTENT (most of the time) problem with changing which window is active.

Lately I have been keeping windows in IE6 sp2, Outlook 2002, Word 2002, and Windows Explorer open. I click on the taskbar button but the active window does not change. I end up having to minimize all windows but the one I want to use. When I have this problem, using alt+tab doesn't work either. It doesn't matter if the new window I am trying to make active is in the same program as the current active window or a different program.

It looks like the window I click on is actually opening in the background.


I POSTED THIS PREVIOUSLY BUT NEVER GOT ANY RESPONSES SO I AM POSTING IT AGAIN IN HOPES SOMEONE CAN HELP.

Thanks.

Marilyn
