“Blinking” browser problem solved!

August 20th, 2006 · No Comments

Starting yesterday, my computer has been having what seemed to be an
insolvable problem. Every time I opened the browser–either FireFox or IE–the
browser address bar, the window that was open, and the search toolbar would
start “blinking.”

If I tried to type something into a form or an address window, the keyboard
either wouldn’t work or I would press a key and 20 instances of the character
would be typed.

I painfully searched Google and MSN and yahoo for forums that would show the
problem. No success.

It suddenly dawned on me that the batteries in my wireless keyboard and/or
trackball–both logitech products–might be low. I replace the
batteries…problem solved!

Whew. This is much better.
