I've noticed a related problem, starting today. While in Outlook Express, when I click on a hyperlink to the Internet, the link opens, but the window does not come to the front. I have to click on the website name on the taskbar to bring the window to the front where I can see it. This has happened several times today, but never before today. Strangely similar to the printing problem, though.....
Is this happening to anybody else?
