Hello --

I have a recurring problem:

Five times now in the last month, Internet Explorer has stopped allowing
me to select text and/or copy & paste text. Simultaneously, Microsoft
Volume Control lowers the volume to zero, and refuses to let me increase
it. I presume these are related, since they both occur together. I have
rebuilt the drive twice from recovery discs, and have used System Restore
twice. This time, System Restore is not working. The copy & paste
problem is also occurring in Outlook Express, but NOT in MS Office,
Firefox, and other programs.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks much!
