    Define focus, like do you mean it pops up on your screen or something?
    I know when mine goes off my indicator icon in my tray flashes and if I have a talk tab open it also will flash but that is it. No sounds, no pop ups, etc.

      I mean like if I am typing away doing something else, and a message is sent to me that the...focus?...of the cursor is taken away. If I have icq running, but minimized, and I am typing this message, an incoming message will cause my cursor to freeze and I will have to go open the message to make it stop.

      If I have icq running and open, it does not do that.

      I cannot tell you how many times a day I get stopped in place because of an incoming message.

        Something makes me think something is broken with your ICQ or computer.

          Could be the icq, I dunno.

          I really don't think it is the computer, as everything else works just fine and dandy.

          I keep icq turned off as much as possible, but it is a necessary evil due to the biz.

          Thanks much for the suggestions, hon!

            reinstall it I am guessing .. sounds more like an ICQ error .. or your comp is so slow it can't handle the gigantic load an incoming message is laying down .. jk
            No sig .. just me
