Do anyone know why windows sometimes suddenly jump from one point of the screen to another?

    I don't know but I'm so glad someone else is having this problem. I thought it was just me!

    It happens a lot in Win2k as well. I believe it's related to the OS multitasking. Between the time you click on a window to move it and the time you "let go", the OS has gone and done something else. But, because the 'puter was off doing something else (multitasking) it misses the signal to let go of the window. Usually when this happens I find that I can move the window around without holding the mouse button at all. It's a bit of a bug I guess, but happens all the time in Win2K as well. I'm not sure if it's been cleared up in XP, but it's probably a trivial fix.
