Cannot enter text in Text Boxes

T

Running XPSP1 and IE6 with all updates. When I first launch IE (Yahoo is my
homepage) I can type in the text entry box that's used for searches. If I
navigate back to that page (from another), however, mouse clicking on the
text entry box does not show the blinking cursor, and I cannot enter text
into the box without Alt-Shifting back into it. Once that happens, other
pages like Google show the same problem. It only goes away if I dismiss IE
and restart. I can't remember when this started happening, but it has to be
within the last few months.

And while I appreciate the normal recommendations, I already did the AV,
CWShredder, AdAware, SpyBot, HijackThis routine, and whatever else is on

and yes, with updated definition files. None of them did a thing to help.

Er, no one has yet answered my post there. Guess I wasn't clear about that
part. Sorry.

You should get an answer. The forum admin. will get notice if not answered
in 24 hours.
But you cannot "Bump" you thread, this will bring it back to the front of
the list as if it was a new problem.

What is your thread number I will have a look at it.
E-mail address on my Home page.

I didn't think this could be done in XP. Could you explain how to repair IE
in XP Pro?

I will check Java, but I'm currently running v1.4.2_03.
