hold down the "alt" key. then, while keeping it held down, hit the "tab" key.
That should pull up a little list of icons for whatever you currently have running.
If you keep the "alt" key held down, you can keep hitting the "tab" key. each time you do, the next icon will be selected.
When you let the "alt" key up, whichever icon is highlighted becomes the active (on top) window.
It may take a little getting used to, but once it becomes a reflex, it's a really easy way to swithch back and forth (it's an alternative to using the task bar - no better, no worse, just different)
Hope that makes some sense.
