    Rocketdock not always on top

    Hi guys,

    I'm having some issues with rocketdock. Basically, I've set rocketdock to autohide and be always on top. However, there are times when it doesn't stay on top of windows. I'd have minimize my current window, click on an application on rocketdock, and restore my previous window. After this procedure, rocketdock will stay on top. But after a while, maybe 20 mins of use, the symptom comes back again.

    This problem started when I did a clean install of vista and installed sp2.. at the same time, the new firefox 3.5 came out, so I can't pinpoint the source of the problem.

    I hope soemone can help me as this is starting to annoy me.

    PS: The exact same thing happens when I use dell quickset.

    PPS: My system is vista home premium, sp2, vista glazz installed, firefox 3.5, dell xps m1330.

    Let me know what other info you need. Thanks!

    Yeah I did. Same thing happens. My dell quickset does the same behavior.. Whenever I up/down the touch sensitive buttons, the volume meter is behind the window. It used to pop up on top of windows last time.
