A window can have more than one pane such as with an IE explorer windows
can have more than one tab. The window name will change as you activate
each tab. Application can also have activeX controls that will change
the active window such ad AdWare. I don't know what is cuasing the
problem but I would see if the window Name that you are trying to access
changes and that is the cause of the problem.

You may want to check all processes instead of windows. The window
would be the parent of the process.

I wouold be nice if Microsoft allowed the Task manager to view the
Process ID and the Parent Process ID. You can view the Process ID but
not the parenet so you can track these type problems. Unix/Linix
operating system does show both. In window you can get the parents and
chid process but you have to write your own code. I think I've seen
utilites that will do this but it has been a number of years since I had
to write code that required this.
