XP is hiding windows?!?

Well, very interesting. . .

Updated my vid drivers.  Still did it.  Then, yesterday I was using my daughter's laptop (which got me thinking - why is my 12 year old's laptop better than my desktop?!?) and her machine did it, too!

Only thing I can think of is that I have the menu bar at the top of the screen on both, like a Mac.  When her laptop did it, I dragged the menu bar to the bottom and it didn't help.

Guess I'll have to try with the bar at the bottom for a bit and see if that prevents it from happening. . .   :dunno

RayB:
Did you even read my post?
Do a virus scan with an up-to-date anti-virus and also do a scan with Spybot Search & Destroy.

Also uninstall any crapware like browser toolbars. The only one you should have is Google toolbar (but beware, there's even a version of that which is compromised with other spyware--you can tell by looking at the pulldown menu--they have blank entries).

Texasmame:
Yes, I read it.  My system is all up to date on that good stuff, thanx.

DaveMMR:
I don't know if this was addressed but is this happening with different programs or with one specific program?

RayB:
Are you using a "release" version of XP? I ve seen some funky stuff happen with "pre release" versions.
