Odd Occurrance...

Hello, all...here's stumper for you.

While my boss was working in Outlook 2002 on his IBM
Thinkpad X40 with XP Pro, all updates, his keyboard
locked up and he could no longer see a mouse cursor, and
we had to power cycle the laptop.

Once it came back up, he opened up Outlook and used the
now visible mouse to click on a message in the header
pane. When he did that, it appears as if he would be
able to edit the From and Subject header from the look of
the edit cursor...that, and the arrow keys did not work
to let himscroll from one message to the next. We had to
press the Tab key or use the mouse to otherwise move the
focus in order for him to once again be able to use the
arrow keys to navigate through the messages.

Anyone seen this behavior before? Anyone know how to get
it to stop so the he can use the mouse to select a single
message, then still be able to use the arrow keys to
further navigate?

Thanks,

-joe
