1. The issue of a minimised program that won't maximize was one side effect of the FriendGreet pest or similar pest. I'd run a scan with Adaware, Spybot, Cwshredder and Housecall.
2. Your issue about logon is too vague. The CNET forums were under construction over the last day. Was that it?

I've got two problems :S, and like alwyas i turn to cnet forums. First, i can hover my mouse out it seems like 2 inches off the desktop and then it can come back. I could live with that but, now my computer is being and dumb and when i maximize a program it puts it out there and theres no getting into it. Its really frustrating. Second, i cannot log in to cnet forums from my computer.(im on a dif. computer). When i try to log on it goes to my registration. and when i re register it still wont let me log on. Thanks for reading.
