    For some reason, my VS.NET IDE has stopped responding to activation from the task bar. It is there, but clicking on it does nothing. Right-clicking on it fails to bring up a context menu. ALT-TAB doesn't even show it as a running application. The only way I can get it to activate again is viw the Task Manager and selecting "Switch to ...". Running WindowsXP and VS.NET 2002. The only think I've done in the last few days is download and install the IE Web Controls. Not exactly a show stopper, but annoying. Any ideas?

      I sometimes get the same problem. Annoying but I've found no workaround besides rebooting (even then I can't be sure that it fixes it - I only get this problem once or twice a month)
