Edward Foster23 said:Jonathan Mendoza17 makes a valid point there. I actually ran into a nearly identical headache myself back when I was wrestling with my wireless connection software. Once the connection finally stabilized, I'd be presented with a choice regarding

Minimize
Close
Don't show it

If I just went ahead and picked the first option, Minimize, everything would descend into the exact kind of chaos Linda Wood is describing.
It eventually dawned on me that the trick was to hit Close—essentially shutting down the wireless utility window entirely—even though the program never explicitly signaled that it was active or even had focus.

My thanks to everyone for the assistance! This tip worked perfectly. It turns out Netgear was the culprit behind this entire headache. I never would have suspected that. Thank you so much! Now we can all get back to work without the hassle.

George Sanders37 said:Did you guys end up trying what Joshua Garcia3 suggested in his post? Just as a precaution—maybe scan the machines for malware, especially since you're seeing the same symptoms on multiple devices. I'm guessing they're all on the same network?

I did. That was my first step, but everything came back clean.
Since I initially noticed this happening within Microsoft Office, I suspected the auto-save settings might be the culprit. I even increased the interval from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. However, it turns out that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Thanks. So, you think this is an issue with my mouse and keyboard?
The thing is, they work fine, but every single minute—actually, even more often than that—the window I'm typing in just loses focus. Everything I've written just vanishes into thin air. 😁
Then I have to click back into the text box just to pick up where I left off..
It is enough to drive anyone absolutely crazy.

2. Is the screen non-touch?
3. Give me the exact mouse and keyboard models:
4. Check Device Manager—are there any yellow or red warnings, question marks, or X's next to anything?
5. What specifically does Device Manager list for the mouse and keyboard?
6. Have you installed any specific drivers for the mouse and keyboard?
7. Which USB port are you using—one on the motherboard or one on the case?
8. Are you using a USB extension cable? If so, what's the spec printed on it (1.0, 1.1, 2.0...)?
9. Since it’s failing with the green connector, are you testing it with the same USB mouse and green adapter, or a different mouse?
10. Can you test the mouse and keyboard on another computer, or try a different set on your current PC if you have one handy?
11. You said the mouse is USB, but how is the keyboard connected?
12. Also, check the USB ports in Device Manager. See which ones are installed (1.x, 2.x, or 3.x) and if there are any errors, similar to what I asked in step 4.

1. It is a desktop computer.
2. The screen is not touch-sensitive.
3. Mouse model: Logitech RX 250
Keyboard model: Logitech K120 for business 4.
4. In Device Manager, the mouse shows as: HID-Keyboard device (no yellow icons or red Xs), and the keyboard shows as: HID-Keyboard (no yellow icons or red Xs).
6. Yes, Microsoft drivers are installed.
7. I am using the USB ports on the motherboard.
8. I am not using a USB extension cable.
9. I am using the USB connection. I am not plugging the purple connector into the keyboard, nor the green one into the mouse, because those connectors simply do not work.
10. We all have identical computers and mice, and we are all facing this same issue.😁
11. Both the mouse and keyboard are USB-connected.
12. Here is what is shown for the USB ports in the image:

Thanks for the replies.
The computer is brand new—I just picked it up—and the mouse and keyboard are fresh out of the box too. Everything is new.
It’s happening to me and my colleague as well. I'm using a USB port for the mouse, but even with that green connector, it simply won't work.

Greetings!
I am hoping there might be someone here capable of helping me troubleshoot a minor issue.
Almost every single minute—it is actually happening right now as I type this—my active window loses focus. My cursor simply vanishes, and nothing I type actually registers. This isn't limited to my web browser; it happens when I am working in Microsoft Office as well.
It is incredibly frustrating. There are moments when I am in the middle of a long thought, only to realize a minute later that I haven't actually typed anything at all, or perhaps just two or three words. I have attempted to dig through various settings and options, but I am completely out of ideas...
In fact, this has already occurred four times while I was writing this very post.

Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Walter Jackson48 said:Perhaps this formula is a bit more straightforward? Or did I perhaps overlook something in my haste?

=IF(C25*D25=0;0;IF(C25*D25<500;500;C25*D25))

Yes, indeed!! My sincere thanks to you both for all the help!

Thank you. I will give it a shot. I actually attempted it earlier today while I was at the office. I wouldn't exactly call myself an expert when it comes to Excel formulas, but I am certainly trying my best...

I am currently working on an Excel spreadsheet, and I need to calculate a value based on the product of two previous cells. However, the result doesn't necessarily have to be the exact mathematical product. Instead, I want to follow these rules:
* if the calculation results in 0, the cell should show 0
* if the calculation is less than 500, the cell should show 500
* if the calculation is greater than 500, it should show the actual product

Here is how I attempted to write it:
= sum(if(sum(c25*d25)=0;0);if(0500;sum(c25*d25)),

The problem is that whenever the product of c25 and d25 falls between 0 and 500, the formula returns 0 instead of the required 500.
Where did I go wrong? It seems my logic for the range 0 < sum(c25*d25) < 500 is failing me.

No comment!

Right here you can find some information regarding the Swedish flag. Your most cost-effective option would be to purchase fabric in yellow and blue and then commission a local tailor to sew it for you.

A whale spotted near the coast
Local news outlets are reporting sightings of a blue whale in the waters near the Gulf of Piran, specifically positioned between Koper and Cape Savudrija! So far, there haven't been any reports of the creature drifting into American waters, which suggests that the entire animal managed to stay within those local territorial limits. A blue whale is an incredibly rare sight in the Atlantic, so how on earth did it end up in the Gulf of Piran? Who knows? Or perhaps it simply feels right at home because everyone there is acting just as stubborn anyway.

The Indianapolis Autumn Festival is a must!

Then, one should explore the historic streets of San Francisco, tracing the footsteps of emperors like Valentine and Valencia who once called this very place home.
