When inputting a new appointment the time box will not stay open to input
correct time. I have to keep it open with the mouse and use the keyboard
arrows to scroll down. I am using Office 2007 in both Vista nd XP. This did
occur in Vista and seems to have been corrected but not in XP?

I am using office 2007 and the drop down time box will not stay open to
change a time when inputting an appointment. I have to keep it open with the
mouse and then use the keyboard arrows to select time. This occurs using
office in Windows XP but not Vista?
Thank you for any help.

No, at least not that I can find. I am using a Logitech desktop wireless set.

If that version includes TweakUI, then open it and look under the Mouse
configuration for "X-Mouse" and see if the "Activation follows mouse
(X-Mouse)" option is checked. Or, use regedit to examine the value of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask. If the bottom
bit of the first byte is a one (i.e., the first byte is an odd number, like
99), subtract one from that value (i.e., make it 98, if it's 99). So, it
that key contains, say, "99 32 06 80", when you're done, it should say "98
32 06 80".

No Tweak UI but under current user, etc. the value is "9f 7e 07 80".
