OE6 problem with reading newsgroups

[~ Free Spirit ~]

I have a new HP with W-XP and use OE-6 for getting basic Usenet's Newsgroups
(through my ISP). The problem is as we read the messages, especially those
over 4 kb they will not stay in place as we scroll down. They JUMP back to
the top of the message, making us lose our place - which we have to scroll
down to find - just to have the message JUMP back to the top of the post.
It's very irritating and time-wasting to have to keep scrolling down to find
our place again. We've been online now since 1996 and have never had this
happen on our older computers (with W95 and W98SE). Is there any way to
stop this irritating behavior of returning to the top of posts over and over
as we're trying to read them? This sometimes also happens on webpages
(IE6). The screen suddenly is back at the TOP of the webpage making us lose
our place on the page.

Thanks.....

Maybe OE just needs a little bit of TLC. See

Have you a McAfee product installed by any chance?
