Hi Addictedtonitro, Youtoo had a problem along these lines a few months a go. I personally haven't met this problem but I can understand why it's annoying, Clancy will be around to troubleshoot but here's the thread, might help.

Looks like you found it already, hope the problem can be resolved

I don't know for sure, but I have heard many horror stories regarding Vista. Corporate customers will not be moving to Vista any time soon.

It's those nasty people at Microsoft, you think they'ld have the decency to iron out the glitches before they launched but they seem to have a Policy of launching first and asking questions later, I'm sure Vista will sail into calmer waters just as the other formats did but it's a bit harsh on the Customer.

I've also had weird problems like that that were caused by IE7. (with XP Pro)
With my computer, it was keyboard errors and non-functional hyperlinks. With a friends computer, anytime she tried to print a web page, she;d get a printout of the pages code, rather than the graphic view.

Removing IE7 cured the problems.......so, if something weird starts happening, roll back to IE6 or, better yet, use Firefox.

I don't have this problem. (Maybe because I'm not using Vista? )
Anyway, will it help if you first type and save in the notepad and then copy / paste it afterwards?

I'm not sure why it is only happening to you on this site. This forum does using AJAX - Ajax (programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and maybe it doesn't work well with Vista, but I don't know why that would be.

It would be frustrating. Maybe try changing your browser or writing a post in notepad and pasting it into the forum form instead of typing it straight in.
