    Your windows are basically stealing focus from each other.

    Download a tool called TweakUI, you can change the option in there.

    Now all the IE problems and others are gone.

    I think not. I am not really good at knowing and remembering short forms.

    I recently downloaded it and tested on a newly installed XP. It still has a problem that i once encountered when XP was first released. Just try the rebuild icons (or such) option and all of your icons change to 256 colors. I remember back then i tried every hint and every registry hack i could think of to have the icons back to normal but it was futile so i reinstalled the XP. Damn!

    I had the same problem so I decided to use Powertoys but no playing around Icons. I ended up reinstalling XP.
