Hi, Thread.

Any chance your mouse drivers are out of date? Or your graphics board
drivers?

What make and model of mouse and display cards are you using?

There's no need to cross-post to several groups! Especially groups like
..help_and_support, which is for people who WRITE Help files!

The original notion that this group would focus on the Help and Support
system in XP died about 10 minutes after it went live. Get over it already.
