    Checking out a new (too me) M6600 and experiencing a strange problem. When I have several windows open, I can not easily switch from one open window to another. No amount of clicking on the windows behind the one on top will work. I have to minimize the top window to see the window beneath it.

    I am guessing there must be a setting somewhere that needs to be changed.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Do you have an NVIDIA card? If so, what version of the drivers are you running?

    Do you use the Premier Color application, or have it running?

    Make sure it's not running from the system tray.

    Find the following icon in the system tray, right-click on it, and select exit:
    PremierColorContextMenuSystray.jpg

    Not an ideal solution, but it should help with the issue.
    You can also set it to not start up with Windows, if you would need to configure your screen with PremierColor, you can open it from the start menu.

    All windows you open from now on, when PremierColor is closed, shouldn't have the "Always on top" problem.

    Ok...got that...Its in the balloon on the taskbar that opens when the up arrow pointer is clicked. So I simply exit out of that?

    How do I stop it from even appearing there and as you say open it in the start menu?

    I don't remember how much different it's on the M4600/M6600, but it should be similar:

    PremierColoSystemStartup.jpg


    Open the Preferences tab inside PremierColor > De-select "Run at System Start-Up"

    After that, simply close the PremierColor window, and Exit it in the system-tray on your taskbar as well (as explained in my previous post).

    I am looking for overclocking tests of Quadro K4000m. I can not find such information.
    Anybody knows anything about it? What are the possibility of OC this card? Similar range as older one-Quadro 4000m?
