Rob,
If I press Alt-Tab first, I can type in the text window. AutoComplete is on
and working. Turning off Windows XP's popup blocker or SBC Yahoo's AntiVirus
did not help. I also have Windows XP's Firewall (which I did not turn off).
I'm supposed to have Windows XP's Anti-Spyware, but I can't find it. I
looked in the Security Center, but that only shows there's the firewall,
antivirus, and auto updates. Where is Windows XP's anti-spyware and how do I
know it's doing anything and how do I access its settings?
I also viewed Manage Add-ons, Programs, and Google Toolbar & Toolbar Helper
are disabled while Google Script Object is Enabled. Internet Options,
Security, Internet Zone is on Medium and Privacy was on Accept all Cookies
(which I changed to Low). Any other ideas?
