Just in case Mr. Glazier's response didn't "muddy the water", I
have one that may. Ever since installing (clean) IE 4.01 SP-1 on
a "from scratch" installation of Win95 OSR2B on a P-233, 64 MB
EDO RAM, Seagate Hawk 2.15 GB WUSCSI, on a Supermicro m/b, it has
been necessary for me to hold down the left mouse button in order
to follow the cascading menus to an app I wish to run. If I
release the left mouse button, the first level start menu stays
up, but I cannot put the cursor arrow where I need to.
Does anyone have any suggestion for fixing this problem. It's
not something that crashes the system (not yet anyway), but it is
a decided annoyance.
Thanks for any help anyone can post.
