No text cursor when composing BT Yahoo email

[Mark Phillips]

Has anyone else got the problem of no text cursor
when you click on the text box when composing
(or replying to) a BT Yahoo email on IE 6
(on Windows XP)?
(So the only way to send an email is to send
a blank one with an attachment.)
It works OK on an old Windows 95 computer
running IE 5.
I have checked all options to enable Java
scripting, Active X, applets, etc.

Any ideas of a solution? Is it a set-up
problem of IE 6, or a bug in the IE 6 browser,
or a fault of the Java scripting on the BT Yahoo
Composer web page?

So far no useful help obtained from BT Yahoo
support!

Thanks, Mark

This is probably being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)
