click anywhere is annoying

[Ben]

Hi there

It maybe a setting I am missing, but if I click anywhere in IE8 the browser

instantly goes to the bottom of the page and it is annoying.

Also, in IE8, while at the start page, I click a link and goes there, then I

hit the back button and goes back to the start page and the forward button to

go back to the page I was at is disabled, this to is annoying

Also, in IE8, if you select a link and right click on it and you see that

the copy command is too many times disabled.

In all honesty, I do not see any of these thing in firefox and IE8 is my

main and default baby

Any help?

Thanks

Hi Ben,



There was a reported bug like that in the IE8 Beta. I cannot remember the

exact cause, but I think it was from an installed Graphics program.



In XP it is a bit hard to track down, but do you remember installing any

other programs around the time the issue first started happening?



Is your machine fully Windows Updated?



Regards.

Did you upgrade to Win7? Is it Win7 64-bit?



Have you run both the Performance and Safety IE troubleshooters? cf.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Tips-for-solving-problems-with-Internet-Explorer



What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your

subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?

What third-party firewall (if any)?



Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the

computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought

it)?

See if this McAfee three-step fix resolves the problem:

If still no joy, answer all of the questions in my first reply.
