Hi,
Recently (this hasn't always been the case), my computer will self "alt tab"
out of the game I am playing (World of Warcraft) to the desktop (rather
frustrating). Also, when not using the computer, the screensaver engages as
normal, but 5 or so minutes in, it reverts back to the desktop as if someone
had touched the KB/Mouse (beither of which has happened). Both these
problems arose at roughly the same time, so, I am pretty sure they are
related. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have two 'Human Interface Devices" or 'pointing devices" (like mice, keyboard scroll wheels, mouse pads etc), disabling one
of them might stop the conflict.

start/run, type: devmgmt.msc
