Office Communicator window keeps popping up for no reason

Has anyone seen an issue with Communicator (Office 2010) popping up from a minimized position for no reason.  The user is running Windows 7 and keeps Communicator minimized.  But the window pops up for no apparent reason throughout the day and
the user is not receiving a message from anyone.
If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks very much. 

Hi,
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features to repair the Installation of Office, check if the issue persists.
If the issue still exists, I suggest you perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Communicator:

  • Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

    For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

  • Console Window keeps popping up for one second then vanishes before I can read it

    a console window (with white letters on a black background) keeps popping up for 1 second and then vanishes before i have time to read it - How can i
    stop that, or how can i capture what is written on the console before it disappears (so that I can troubleshoot it)?
    I use as x64-bit Windows 8 pro Lenovo T430s.
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks Andre,
    I ran ProcMon and went to the ProcessTree window, but could not find any cmd.exe there (and hence could not see the commandline). (I also watched the video about ProcMon).
    The closest I could find in the ProcessTree window was conhost.exe, with commandline showing:
    \??\C:\windows\system32\conhost.exe 0x4
    I saved the capture trace, at:
    http://sdrv.ms/14Dfvjs
    Do you see any other leads in there that I could work on?
    In the result column, I noticed some "buffer overflow" and "name not found", many associated with "tunmgr.exe" the Blackberry Link Communications Manager.
    I also noticed that in the ProcessTree Window, the only two process lines with an End Time are tunmgr.exe and conhost.exe.
    the respective command lines are:
    for tunmgr.exe:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Tunnel Manager\tunmgr.exe" -Embedding"
    for conhost.exe:
    \??\C:\Windows\system32\conhost.exe 0xffffffff
     - could that be it?
    If so, how could one fix that ?

  • ITunes application keeps popping up for no reason.

    For some reason my iTunes application keeps popping up to the front of the screen to be on top of all of my other windows. this is a problem because not only does it prevent me from doing anything on my computer like type or read things, but if I am typing or doing something and listening to music, it stop the music I am playing, or switching my play list or what have you. I have tried to repair and reinstall the program but it continue to do this. Can someone help me please?

    I had the same problem and I finally figured out what was causing iTunes to pop up as the active window. I use FireFox and I have the add-on Foxy-Tunes, when I disabled that iTunes would work perfectly fine! I think the problem is that iTunes just updated to iTunes 10 and Foxy-Tunes hasn't gotten an update so it works with iTunes 10 yet.
    I hope this helps!

  • StartSavin adverts keep popping up for no reason

    It's exactly what the headline states; it only started happening a few days ago, and I've checked the addons etc and there is nothing there to remove aside from AdBlock. When it says to 'uninstall the programme', the programme itself isn't even on my computer!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
    '''Linux:'''

    * Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
    * options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • Photoshop CS4 Help Window Pops Up For No Reason

    This same thing was happening in Photoshop CS3 and I could never figure out why. I figured that since CS4 was coming out, I would buy it, stop using CS3 and the problem would be solved, well it's not. So far, I'm happy with the new program but for some reason, out of nowhere, while working on a photo, the Photoshop Help window (which opens as a web browser window) will pop up for no reason! Today, it popped up over 6 or 7 times and I nearly had to crash the program to get it to stop. I figured this problem would have been solved with the new version since the same thing was happening in CS3 but it hasn't. I'm running a Windows XP-based machine that I built myself about 2 years ago. I have a 512mb ATI Raedon X1650 video card and have 4GB of RAM so this machine has far more than enough power to run the program. I updated my video and mouse drivers prior to installing the program. Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks for pointing that out. It really happens very rarely, but when it happens, it's quite a huge annoyance.
    Well I have about 3,5GB RAM on a Windows Vista 32 Bit system (hence just 3,5 instead of the full 4GB), with the OpenGL options activated, and maybe over 100GB of free HD space (that'll never be a problem, but since swapping is not used by all modules, I often bump into RAM problems when using tools like auto-aligning layers or stitching panoramas) and 2,5Ghz core duo on a notebook. The Windows swap file is also "just" 4GB...but I found more than 4GB to be a bit extreme.
    RAM usage is set to 56% right now (916MB), cache levels is set to 6
    After restart, everything runs fine again, I hope the help screens leave me alone.
    I didn't know this is since v. 7! I worked with all versions since 5.0 and since becoming a freelancer also bought every version since 6.0 except 7. I only experienced this bug in this and the previous version. Maybe my hardware doesn't keep pace with PS anymore

  • ITunes keeps popping up fr no reason with nothing connected and it is driving me insane, any suggestions?

    iTunes keeps popping up for no reason with nothing connected and it is driving me insance, any suggestion?

    That really is not likely since the device would have to have at one time been physically connected and synced to your computer, AND Wi-Fi sync enabled while connected to your library, AND they'd have to be on your Wi-Fi network.  Unless you have someone who did all this and lives within Wi-Fi range, and knows your network password, that's not what's happening.
    Do you have any auxillary software add-ons to iTunes (e.g. Last.fm scrobbler)?  Sometimes those get in the way of shutting iTunes down and it will re-open unless you shut the other software down first.

  • Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

    Hi all.
    I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
    1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
    After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
    Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
    2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
    It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
    It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
    If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
    Many thanks in advance
    MadDogSnaps

    Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?

  • Another window keeps popping, how to get rid of that

    another window keeps popping in spontaneously. Have i got a virus/malware.
    Mac cleaner keeps popping in.
    How do I avoid that?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is exactly the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    (where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • New windows keep popping up in Safari

    I have turned off Extensions and Blocked Pop Ups but windows keep popping up in the back with ads for the past week?
    What else can I do to stop these?

    ArtySD
    Pesky pop-unders! Since I am on a vintage Pismo, there will be many here that may have better advice for your system and Safari version.
    I use Firefox with and add-on that doesn't exist for Safari - but there are reports of others for Safari that I cannot recommend, only point you to.
    AdBlockPlus may not be supported in your Safari version, so I won't even link to it.
    GlimmerBlocker seems popular and appears safe as it doesn't really alter Safari at all, but uses a proxy server
    http://glimmerblocker.org/
    You will find lots of results by Google-ing " safari pop-under " - stay away from Softonic, etc. download sites though. Good practice to download from the developer's website only.
    You'll find something I'm sure. If not, give Firefox a try.

  • Nag window keeps popping up even though we paid our subscription over 3 weeks ago

    After trialling creative cloud for a few weeks & being very happy with the system, once we actually paid and the trial period ended we have not been able to use any of the programs.
    The nag window keeps popping up, which asks us to sign in. Once we sign it it asks for a serial number which we don't receive with creative cloud membership.
    Is there a fix for these issues?

    Kartikay,
    I have tried the steps you recommended and I still have the same issue.
    I an using a mac running OS X 10.8.3, I had no problems during the trial period. We paid for our creative cloud membership on 20/03/13.
    I have tried deleting all adobe applications and reinstalling, as well as downloading and running the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool as suggested on one of the Forum posts.
