Hi Peter!

The BringToFront method of the window doesn't seem to work like supposed to,
I've noticed that too, but I have no clue of what to do about it.

Regarding running the client on you portable that is no problem, just make sure
that your client is a version that in the user tab says:
25 problems in buffer, 0 results in buffer
I do this all the time, if you don't have the "user" tab dl the latest client.

Since your laptop is a rather fast one you might run out of problems, as there
is no way to control the buffer size. 25 problems should last you at least 12
hours though. The buffer was originally constructed to avoid problems when
server or loses internet connection temporarily but works for intended
disconnects too.
