Explorer text box oddity

[tenndrew]

First off, my system:

Xp Home edition with SP1 upgraded from ME
1Ghz Pentium with 512MB RAM
Lots of internal drive space left
Explorer 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
Macafee Firewall

The problem: Whenever I use Explorer 6.0 and type text
into a web page text box (ex.: ebay's login page or on a
bulletin board text entry box), the text echo lags behind
what's being typed unless a) I stop typing and wait for
it to catch up, or b) I move the cursor arrow into the
address bar but do NOT click on the bar. Doing option "b"
is the quicker of the two and immediately updates the
displayed text but further typing still shows a distinct
lag.

I have an ADSL internet connection and the Macafee
Firewall is turned off. All Explorer "Internet Options"
are set to the default values. This problem did not occur
until AFTER I installed the XP Home upgrade for WinME.

Anyone care to venture a guess?

Thanks for your ideas!

My vast experience with u/g'ing from ME to XP is that it
does not work very well, and causes many problems. Your
best bet is probably to wipe your HD (fdisk, format) and
start with a clean XP install. Good luck!
