that's the problem, you don't see it, it just gets in your way. 
go into tools, options, and the read tab, find and uncheck the "download 
messages when in the preview pane" (or something like that) check box and 
uncheck it, then tab to ok and enter, 

then go to the view menu (BTW all this is done in the main O.E. window, not the 
one for reading or writing a message) go down to the "layout... item and enter 
on it, then when it comes up tab to the "show preview pane" checkbox and 
uncheck it and tab to ok and enter again and see if this fixes the trouble your 
having. 

and you should make a note of this, its a standard windows XP setup procedure, 
smile.

HTH,

  I haven't seen it.
  It seems to be multiple issues now--when someone sends me an msn message, it 
just sits there and reads the title of the window, like "<person>-conversation" 
over and over and over until I actually go to that window

    ah, have you gotten rid of the preview pane yet? folks say that that thing 
can get in the way and block your reading.

          Hello list,
          I just got my new laptop, and was working on writing a message here 
about it, when I noticed a problem.
          I haven't noticed this problem before, but with some edit boxes, I 
can't arrow up or down.
          I'm using jaws 9, with xp pro.
          This is mainly happening in Outlook Express, notepad seems to be 
working great.
          Your ideas would be great, I'd like to get this fixed if possible.
          TIA,
