Something else on a whim: do you have Logitech's Setpoint installed on your system? If so, try exiting it for a while to see if the problem persists.

Yes I do have Setpoint & I did exit it, no effect I'm afraid to say. Please see attached image for focus test details.

Wow. Seems to be the Desktop modules grabbing focus! WTH?

For a quick experiment, close all your desktop modules (right click one of them -> Desktop Modules -> Close All Modules) and try again.

Also, really need to know now if the games change your native (desktop) screen resolution or not.

The resolution does change from my desktop setting depending on the game.

I did as you said & closed all the modules & tried opening Bad Company 2 and it opened with no issue.

Then I only activated the clock module & again tried opening Bad Company 2 and the game again lost focus, it would seem the modules are causing this issue for me.

Nexus dock runs in the background without affecting the full screen games.

Looks like WorkShelf is not recognizing the game as a full screen window for some reason.

You're a registered Winstep user, so apply for access to the Beta Forums section if you haven't already, please. :D

Cool, then hang on tight, new private beta should be coming out soon.

I changed the code a bit - it doesn't fix the root cause of the problem (which apparently is WorkShelf not identifying the game as a full screen window) but it will prevent the Desktop modules from grabbing focus on a screen resolution change.

Well Jorge you can count on me to test whatever you need. :D

I used to make my living off being a tester. Was with the Activision Visoneers till Activision scrapped it in 2005. I am still actively participating in a few beta programs.

I am a community skinner/mapper/modder for several PC games, mostly with the Call of Duty titles.

I am semi-retired now & find myself with time to burn lol so please feel free to put me to task 8)

I do appreciate the direct involvement & rapid resolution to the bugs you find, it shows me you are certainly a man of integrity & thats something I value. Thank you for the "hands on" for your software, I know there is no "lifetime" license but you have in myself a "lifetime" subscriber.

Mind if I keep you in mind, GrymmWolf?
I'm currently at university, studying a game-orientated version of computer science. A tester might come in handy sometimes (no obligations though ;))
