Hi,
I have outlook express on XP home V6 (up to date via update center) in
the last few months when it pops up a dialog box (eg switch identities or the
spell check dialog box which a list of spelling suggestions) it will scroll
through all the listed items many times. eg if I have 2 identities then it
will highlight each identity one at a time until the end then it will do it
once more from the top and then stop. If I use the spell checker then if
there are 10 items in the list it will highlight each item (and scroll) it
will then repeat this 10 times and then stop (so now I can select the correct
spelling). If there are 5 items will scroll through all the optins 5 times etc

This never used to happen but I can't remember when it started and I've gone
back in the system restore as far as I can and it still does this.

This is specific to outlook express no other app (eg word) does this

Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance for your help

Hi ito,

Checkout the microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
newsgroup.
and look for subject "outlook express v6 spellcheck box keeps scrolling"

Basically I found that it was a "background" process called MotiveSB.exe
(aka NetAssisant). Once I disabled this process all the scolling problems
went away.
