Problem:
Using Windows XP, I almost always have several windows open while I am working. Sometimes I will be loading something in IE, and because I know it will take a while, I switch to Firefox to continue working. But when the loading is complete, IE automatically pops back up to the top of the screen, even if I am in the middle of writing something in Firefox or Microsoft Word. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
I am using the most recent version of IE7. My computer has a fast connection and all up-to-date components, so I do not believe it is my computer.
Solution:
Dear Robert,
Since you have a fast connection it is wrong to wait for your page to be loaded in Internet Explorer unless there is a database conflict. Unfortunately the database format Internet Explorer 7 uses is not compatible with XP database storage and the conversion takes a long time.
Internet Explorer generally takes focus when the page has been loaded and it cannot be disabled. Normally, it should take a short time.
My best suggestion to you is to either go Vista or roll back to IE6.
