O.P. Huh?  [Found Error] Losing cursor in msg windows?
I'm using XPSP2 Pro, Messenger 6.2025 and MsgPlus! 3.50.124

Every now and again, I lose control of the messenger message window, the cursor dissapears and I can't see what I'm writing. I stop receiving other people's text but can see mine when I hit the Enter key.

I'm sure this didn't happen before I updated to this version of plus a couple of days ago.

EDIT AS FOLLOWS


I found the problem. It is due to the installation of MS Power Toy 'Alt Tab Replacement'. When you alt-tab from the window with this installed, it takes a snapshot in order to show you other windows. Unfortunately when you alt-tab back, I lost control of the cursor.

Uninstalled it and it's all working again.

Here's the link if anyone needs it.
