The problem has progressively gotten worse and is now to the point where I don't have even a minute before the window loses focus. If there is any way this problem can be fixed, I'd like to know. If it means anything, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.

I'll uninstall the one that's expired and test.
EDIT: Great, something is preventing me from uninstalling it. There's another barrier to tackle. |
