Default When I start to post

When I start posting it's like Im on a timer, I'll be typing and then the bar quit's flashing and I have to left click again, an I also have to left click on every page to get it to scroll, if this is my problem advice to fix would be great.[sm=smiley20.gif]

That's your computer, bro...make sure you click in the area that you are typing. Leave the mouse somewhere in the text area. Are you using a laptop? Sometimes guys will inadvertantly touch the touchpad and it will essentially click where ever the mouse happened to be at the time...

Hope this helps.

Are there any popups when the typing stops for you?

go to www.downloads.com and get a fix. It's a great site, yes they will try to sell you permanant software, but in the meantime it will solve your problem.

I use AdAware from lavasoft.com They have a free version that works very well. You'd be surprised the crap that gets installed just in orndinary surfing.

One other thing I've noticed lately, if you're running the current version of AOL's instant messenger, they have nasty new ads running that hijack the active window. IOW you could be scrolling this forum and all of a sudden your Buddy list is scrolling. Even had it open a new IM window when I was typing a post here one night.

AOL IM...

My daughter likes to use that to chat with her buddies. I'm constantly cleaning up her computer...Norton 2005 is what finally did it, that sucker is as good as a chastity belt.

I run Norton systemworks 2005 on all my computers.

But just for giggles I would suggest downloading AdAware from lavasoft.com (no I am not a stakeholder) and run it.

you'll be amazed what it finds.
