Hi there!

I'm having this problem: a Winstep website is randomly opened once in a few days in Chrome and it minimizes all other applications.

I stopped using WinstepNexus for a couple of days and it did not happen anymore, so the issue must be from this software.

I also searched for a setting or something like that to disable this feature but found nothing.

Anyone else experiencing this ??

Which page does it show on the Winstep web site (i.e.; URL)? Are you by any chance pressing F1 (Help key) while using the application? That could explain it, although not the 'minimize all other applications' part.

Either way, pretty sure it's not 'randomly', something must be triggering it.

Hello! Thanks for the reply.

Well ... I'm not pressing any key. Sometimes Chrome opens with this webpage (http://www.winstep.net/buynow/nexus-legit.asp) and takes me out of any other application.

It certainly does seem random, because it happens like once a week, at random hours.

Sounds like you may be using an old "cracked" version? That URL certainly seems to suggest so, and that would be the reason why you see this behaviour and are taken to that particular page. I suggest you have a real good look at that page and buy legit!

Yep, as Nexter said, it looks like you are using an illegal/cracked version of Nexus Ultimate, which seems to be confirmed by the fact that I also am unable to find your email address on our database of registered users.

If you think this is by mistake then just sent me a PM here with the name/email address you used when you purchased Nexus Ultimate (or something that can help me identify your purchase), otherwise just do what the text in that page says and buy a legit copy of Nexus Ultimate. You seem to be enjoying it enough to put up with those disruptions, so you might as well.
