Guest Terrill Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 All of my programs seem to be going inactive while typing. HELP please I am a transcriptionist and I cannot continue to click the stupid mouse to reactivate the Word while I'm typing reports. -- Thank you, Terrill
Guest Gordon Shumway Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 RE: Computer goes inactive Are you just losing focus on your Word document ?? Wouldn't think you'd need to "reactivate the Word" Download TweakUI from Microsoft. Run the program and click on General -> Focus in the left window. Check "Prevent applications from stealing focus" in the right window. OK to exit. See if that helps. GS "Terrill" wrote: > All of my programs seem to be going inactive while typing.

Guest Terrill Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 RE: Computer goes inactive I went to the download section and it says that XP Home Edition does not support the TweakUI program. I don't want to make it worse. What does lose focus mean? These freezes happen in all programs not just Office 2003 programs. -- Thank you, Terrill "Gordon Shumway" wrote: > Are you just losing focus on your Word document ??

Guest Terrill Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Computer goes inactive Thank you for the link. I downloaded the program and made the adjustment that Gordon suggested. It did not fix the problem. Still going inactive. Any other suggestions? I'm thinking this is another one of those Microsoft update issues but Microsoft won't help without charging me. -- Thank you, Terrill "Bob I" wrote: > Did you get it from here? > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx > > Terrill wrote: > > > I went to the download section and it says that XP Home Edition does not > > support the TweakUI program.
