On my Ubuntu systems when I'm working on something, and I try to open a new program (ie: Firefox) If I have a text editor or another program in focus, and I'm using it (ie: typing a note) then when Firefox loads it pops under my current window to avoid interrupting me. This is something I've grown accustomed to, but I cannot find a way to make Windows XP Pro SP2 behave the same way.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently gone through HP's repair function which wiped out almost everything but very few programs. My computer is free of viruses or spyware (Ad-aware, spybot, spyware doctor) but very few webpages such as this one, google and all associated pages, novell groupwise, baltimoreravens.com etc. I m connected through a 40-bit enabled security key to our wireless network at home and my roomate doesn't have trouble using his browsers.I can't connect to any MSN webpages, yahoo altavista and many many others.Having just rebooted much of what was left in the hard disk I doubt this is some software conflict.Most webpages just hang and return "The document contains no data". Finally, there "local area connection network cable unplugged" notification on my systray. But since I can post this I can connect online alright. What is going on, why are Firefox and IE very selctive with the pages they open ?
