taskbar buttons
We recently bought a new laptop for a user with WinXP Pro. When the user opens up a few windows, he noticed a weird thing happening. When he clicks on the buttons for the various open windows, it does not make the clicked window active. The current windows remains on top and does not switch to the other windows.
I cannot find anything about this on google - the only thing I can find taskbar button related is about how to ungroup the buttons. Not our problem..
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Is it always the same type of window that does this? EG internet explorer or windows explorer or a particular application?
If it's a particular app - it could be set to be always ontop?

no. It does not matter what he opens. He opened (to show me) about 5 windows - OE, My Docs, Explorer, IE, and Word. Clicking the buttons did not switch active windows..

If you bring up the task manager, are any of the windows shown as not responding?

no, and alt-tab switches between the windows properly. Just clicking on the buttons does not work.. weird.
