when I press alt. tab, my chat box doesn't show by zblument on 02-11-2008 at 04:50 AM

so basically as soon as i install windows live plus my conversation box no longer displays when i press alt. tab.  it aknowledges that something is there, because when i am pressing alt. tab to scroll through my programs and i stop it on something invisible, it then shows up my chat box.

when i uninstall windows live plus then the chat box is always displayed when i hit alt tab, so its a bug in the plus!....does anyone know how i can fix this, because i would really like to keep plus installed.

Hey zblument, welcome to the forums.
Thanks for reporting your problem :).

Here's a reply from a silimar topic:

This is a known bug/limitation found in beta testing. It is done this way to fix another bug which is far worse than this one (can't remember at this stage - think it was to do with tabbed chats changing).

It occurs when the tabbed window is minimised - it doesn't appear, as you've noted, in the alt-ta
