Hello,
I faced a strange problem while using Windows XP professional - SP2. I
was not able
to to click and get start menu OR not able to enter anything in the
URL. While entering in URL whatever I typed started disappearing. Even
when I try to login as adminstrator and give password, after entering
some letter it again disappears.
This was totally frustrating. I have Norton anti virus software with
upto date virus defination
files, as I have Live update on.
When I re-installed the OS, the problem disppeared. The problem is I
again have to install lot of things and get my virus defination upto
date.
Has anybody encountered such a problem? Even after having anti virus
software why does such a thing happen (if virus is the problem). Is
there any permanent solution to this.
Any pointers will be helpful in the future?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards
PNR
 
Little idiosyncrasies can happen over time ... but I would be cautious on
what you re-install. Do them one-at-a-time and test. If it happens again,
then you have your culprit.
