Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: minimizing problems Tuesday, September 24, 2002 at 12:40 am Posted by Mike (280 messages posted) What happens when you use the keyboard shortcut Alt + Tab keys together? It should bring up a box with icons representing each open application and the title of each one in the lower bar. You can tab through each one and let go and that window will pop up in the foreground. If thet aren't there then try running SFC and scanregw to see if there are any corrupted system files or registry entries.
