Active windows losing focus

[KWestos]

Hi

 

We are experiencing more and more issues with the active window (be it I Explorer, Word etc) losing focus. At the moment it can be as little as 1 second.

 

We are running CSE.net desktop management on Windows Xp sp2. Sometimes a re-boot will solve it but its becoming quite a pain.

 

Does anyone have any experience of this - please help.

 

I have tried tweakUI and set it to prevent applications stealing focus, but this does not always work.

Have you tried opening up Task Manager and killing unessential processes one by one? There's clearly something running in the background causing it to happen.

Does it happen on all your workstations? And are your workstations all imaged by chance?

Hi

 

It is only happening on some machines, and yes, they are all imaged.

There has been general problems on the internet connecting to America today, maybe something to do with that.

Not noticed that myself and wouldn't have though it would be the cause anyway.

 

It's got to be an app or service grabbing the focus. Although it happens with the SIMS login box sometimes for no apparent reason.

We used to get a similar issue intermitently when we used CSE software, never got to the bottom of it but it hasnt happened since we got rid of the CSE stuff
