SYMPTOMS
When you install some programs, you receive no indication that the Setup process is finished. If you switch another program to the foreground while the Setup program is running, you may not realize Setup has finished.



CAUSE
Many programs display a "Setup complete" message in a modal dialog box. A modal dialog box sets the focus to the dialog box and requires user interaction. However, some Setup programs do not display a message, or do not use a modal dialog box.



RESOLUTION
You can use the following methods to display tasks that are currently running:


 * Press ALT+TAB to display the running tasks until the Setup program is selected.
 * Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and then click Task Manager to display the running tasks. Click the Setup program and then click Switch To.
