page times out in seconds

thanks mark,

i did as you suggessted...when in email, the icon to the far left was the
pencil icon, when on this page, it was the internet explorer icon...you said
to note which icon was to the left, but both were the icons fartherst to the
left.

i can't type anywhere for more than a few seconds without the cursor
unclicking..very frustrating

any ideas on what to do next?

thanks a lot.

This pencil icon is the app that is grabbing the focus. Close it if you don't
want it to do that. (Rightclick it's icon on the Taskbar, and click Close.)
