"U" driving me NUTS!!!!

Here recently, when I am typing in a online text box and hit the letter "u", a box pops up in my upper lefthand screen saying "Type in the name or word and Interent Explorer will search for it"......might not be exact, but close to it. So I lose my typing place, have to go up and close the box and resume typing. It is maddening and I cannot figure out how it happeend but would love any suggestions on how to kill this annoying little bug. Thanks!!!!![/I]

 

Hi Fiona, welcome to majorgeeks


Hmm?

What version of IE are you using?

Also it would seem you have a problem where by your text is being displayed in un-attractive/enlarged colours and fonts, respectively

 

I am using IE 8, Windows Vista Home Premium, 64 bit.......


My font seems to have improved!

 

Ahh, that's much better... my pupils thank you


Try looking in....

>> Tools >> Internet options >> Advanced >>

Look for anything related to searching and try unticking or ticking as applicable

Q

 

OK, I hit "escape" and this foolishness stops. Somehow I am activating this weird little thing whilst typing but when I hit escape it stops. Thanks all.......
