This is what has been happening to me! And the fix seems to have worked.

Hi,

I do see the same problem on IE6 and a brand new windows XP mediacenter.

I tried to follow your instruction to correct the problem; But I really can not find the "on-screen keyboard" configuration under "languages"

Do you have any idea where I should look?

Thanks. This has fixed my problem with flickering... hopefully. I'm using Windows 2003 Server with IE7. My wife almost demanded I download another browser as it was causing her constant frustration as a heavy browser user. Think you should get a KB article together and get onto the user groups with this one as there seems to be a lot out there.

Thanks

Glenn

Thanks for the fix. I had to switch to firefox for almost a month because of this bug (You seems to be too nice to the IE developers - from your explanation it seems to me as a fundamental design issue). Hoping to get back on IE.

Thanks,

Musthafa

I have been having the exact same problem for the last week with IE6. Like Jan above I do not have the "Handwriting Recognition" or "On-Screen Standard Keyboard" options under the "Details" tab. But I think this is greater than an IE problem because I get the menu flickering on all drop-downs in Windows. I just upgraded to IE7 and the problem remains. I cannot use my browser anymore and will have to change if there is no real fix. Any other ideas??

Thanks,

Tatiana

Jan and Tatiana, I had not previously heard of similar problems with IE6 (and other apps' menu flickering), but I will blog about this now to see if maybe someone else has any ideas.

Thanks, this fixed my problem. I have had this problem for about a week or so, and it really gets on your nerves. I also went to Microsoft’s IE 7 web site and could not find anything under the troubleshooting section. I believe they may need to come out with a patch or something, but its not like I was using the on screen keyboard anyway, in fact really didn’t even know it was there. Thanks again.

Thank god for your blog, only help on this issue I've been able to find. I've applied your work around and crossing my fingers that it works. This issue has certainly been anoying, without this workaround I would have had to choose another browser.

Like Tatiana, I have been having the flickering problem with menus of almost all applications. I have IE6 and Firefox. I noticed this first on Firefox and then on other apps. Lukily it happens on certain days and it dissappear for sometime. When this happens all Window screens behave in a strange fashion, for example, if I want to drag one screen to the right or in any direction, the whole screen slips rapidly to the left. It has been becoming worse lately. Recently after the flickering started, it freezes when I try to restart or power off.
