Is anyone else seeing this?

MC is running maximised, but is not the active application. I've not been able to narrow it down any better than "every so often" so far, but 'every so often', mostly on track change, as far as I can tell, MC keeps jumping to the foreground.

I've closed and restarted MC just before making this post. Will try to keep a closer eye on what's up...

Same here.
The reason could be my slow machine.

what bearing would the speed of your machine have on this?

@ 2 GHz your machine shouldn't be that slow you know.
I'm running on an aging AMD athlon XP 2800+ running @ 2.09 GHz and despite it's age, it's still plenty speedy enough for me.

(from your system info)
Memory: Total - 523 MB, Free - 83 MB

I think that if you perhaps invested in another 512 MB of RAM you would see a marked increase in you machines performance.
With only 83 MB of RAM free, I would expect things to be pretty clunky.

I would have to agree with Marko. I'm only running an AMD XP 2000 (1683Mhz) with 512 ram, but with 300+ free.

Either run fewer apps simultaneously or get more RAM.

Thanks for the hints.

Maybe it has somethin to do with my library?

"5549 albums (75701 Files - 405.5 GB - 216.5 days)"?

Thanks for further suggestions.
