This is one of the weirdest problems I've encountered with my computer, and I can't
seem to trace it to anything or fix it.
My taskbar is totally acting up and I find it more than annoying. The quick launch
and notification areas seem to work fine, but I'm having major issues with open windows/applications.
As an example, I have three windows open right now, and they are displayed in the
taskbar. The current window's tab is highlighted as normal. When I click on another
window's tab, instead of opening that window, the tab flashes orange. After about
five seconds, it stays solid orange. When I click on the orange tab, the window
does not appear. Clicking on any other tab only causes it to flash orange, too,
without opening the window. In order to stop the madness, or if I want to use the
taskbar to get to another program, I have to minimize all the windows but the one
I want.
I'm able to open already minimized windows and it works the way it's supposed to,
but that's where the working-like-it's-supposed-to ends. I'm very frustrated and
annoyed.. I tried searching for my problem but I'm not even sure what to search for!
I fiddled around in Taskbar Properties, restarted.. I just noticed this problem today
after the installation of a Wi-Fi adapter and new software/drivers for it.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance,
Alena
