    I have reformatted my friends computer and there is a slight problem when I click in any search box the box that contains the following comes up undo cut copy paste delete select all inspect element I cannot type anything into the search box while this box is open but I can get rid of it by clicking delete which closes the box and then I can type into the search box. I have tried doing a repair install but still have the same problem, can anyone help. Thanks. :clap:

    Bit more info? Laptop or desktop? Which version of Windows? Which software are you referring to, Windows Explorer?

    Information is key to getting help on this, otherwise it just looks like you've typed a paragraph of nonsense ;)

    Yes - please, as Shirty has said, pop some more detailed info in there to make it easier for us to understand what's gone wrong.

    Either the mouse has given up the ghost, or the mouse software has swapped the right and left mouse buttons.

    Yup top quality, loads of information on things like if it was a laptop or desktop, which version of Windows it was, what software you were referring to, what the problem was, how it was fixed.

    People like Tony are what keep this forum alive, with their insightful posts and informative threads.

    Now the members I really can't stand are those who just use the forums entirely for their own selfish means and give nothing whatsoever back.

    :sigh:

    It doesn't matter, it's been fixed.

    It doesn't matter how it was fixed either.

    Not universally. It could happen to someone else, who could benefit if there was just a bit more meat to this emaciated thread which is currently as much use to anyone as tits on a goldfish.

    I get it. Not much of a thinker huh?
