Thanks Now we have the usless, "I switched to Safari" answer done with. (we're all using that piece of "BETAware" named Safari, but sometimes you need a browser that works) Anyone actually have a constructive answer? I tried turfing various pref files already, but it's still sketching. A fresh download is only a few minutes away but I don't know if that's worth it. I also noticed some time ago that hitting the Return button doesn't work in the preference dialog boxes in IE. Whacky M$ code!
