Selection jumping in Outlook Express Switch Identities box

Mar 30, 2005 10:40PM PST

On switching Identities via the Switch Identities box in Outlook Express 6 (I am running XP Professional with SP2), the selection won't stay on the Identity I select, either with the mouse or the keyboard. It scrolls up or down of its own accord, usually ending on the last Identity in the list. The same fault occurs in the OE Spellchecker box, where it scrolls uncontrollably up and down the list of other spelling options. I have no idea what is causing this ? it is really annoying.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what do you mean by scrub it? My mouse is not a cordless one. What further details should I provide (this is my first discussion item)? Many thanks.

If you don't read supplied links, then tell me so I won't supply them.
