Yes, Fred is correct. I saw that too. As my customer was testing, it would definitely not get focus on some machines and get focus on others . . .

>I remember that being a problem on SOME W2K systems and not others. I think there's a TWEAKUI like tool that works for W2K that can change the registry entry that causes that, but for the life of me, I can't remember what the registry entry was! The utility I used was the Xteq Systems X-Setup. (www.xteq.com)
