Hi! I've been having this problem latley, and I was wondering if I could get some help! I built my current computer about 4 months ago, running XP SP2, and havn't had any major issues. When I'm surfing a webpage, on occasion, I would lose focus on it (IE would grey out, for example) and I would need to click on it to regain focus. Also, while playing PC games, such as COD4 or Civ4, the game will just minimize on it's own, for seemingly no reason. I wasn't sure what was wrong, but I think I found out.
I noticed that whenever this would happen, when I went to my task manager, I would see a seperate, 25k iexplore.exe running (as opposed to my main iexplore, that was running at about 100k). When I'm playing a game, sometimes this iexplore.exe will open even when a real internet explorer window isn't open. If I leave the second iexplore.exe running, I was get forced back to desktop about every 2 minutes, however if I kill the program, it usually won't come back again for about an hour, but it's still incredibly frustrating.
Anyone have any idea what it may be? I included a Hijakthis log, to maybe offer some more clues. Thanks alot!
