    I usually open a lot of windows, tens of windows actually. This hasn't been a problem until I started to use Windows XP, in XP the buttons on the taskbar can't get so small like with the previous versions of Windows, when you open so many windows like me you'll have many "rows" of buttons .. every time I try to click a button on the taskbar it activates the window and jumps to the row that has its button, fine no problem so far, now I click another button in the same row, it doesn't activate the window and it jumps to another row!!!!!!!! Anybody have encountered the same behavior? It keeps doing that all the time and it really gets on my nerve. (a.k.a. Wal2k)

          Perhaps it's the latter :) Now seriously, I uninstalled Windows XP Power Toys and now it works just fine, I assume this is what caused the problem. (a.k.a. Wal2k)

            Yeah, I would use that, but with a matrox video card, 3 monitors - each 21", I might get confused. Life is so hard. :-D ...

                Viewsonic G220FB[^] just set everything up last night, went from 2 crappy monitors to 3 of these. Went from an *nVidia card to one of these[^] Only cause I traded a pro mountain bike to a computer store owner, so his kid could get a better bike to race with. I had to use my laptop about an hour ago, and couldn't handle one screen anymore. Uh-Oh!!!! EDIT *not that theres anything wrong with nVidia /EDIT ...
