In all of my apps and even in the Run box of WINXP w/SP2, the entry cursor shows in the box, but it just ignores any data I try to enter. Since I can't enter sfc in my Run box, I can't check my OS. I've run several Spy and AD Detectors, and scaned my AVC Virus Detector with nothing found. Since I can't even enter my a/c number in my bank's online screen, I've got to get this fixed promptly. Any ideas?

Hi bobhjon, welcome to SAF

Sounds like some registry keys are missing or corrupted.
Have you recently made changes in the registry (like cleaning) ?
Does this happens only in internet form fields or in any Windows field, and, are you able to type normally on a notepad or text processor ?

Have you tried a system restore to a point just before the problem started ?

Note that, although you have searched for malwares, some Coolwebsearch versions may prevent you from typing text in form fields...

Hopefully not to dumb, but if the mouse works OK have you thought maybe the keyboard is bad ?
