Can't drag/select text

powerbook g3 wallstreet
2gb hd
98mg available
233 hz
325 ram
os 9.2.2
IE 5.1.7

Lately I have been having an increasing problem selecting text on a website.
I know it is selectable text because a clicked word will select and a select
all will select. But starting with the cursor at a particular place and then
'mouse down-dragover' to select does not work. This has happened on numerous
websites. Some other websites are fine. I am low on available hd mb. Could
that be related? I've never had this problem before.

Also, I see IE 5.2.2 on the newsgroup subjects. Is that for OSx only? I
didn't see it for os 9 on mactopia.

Thanks for any assistance.

Rafael

Harri,

Thanks for the feedback.

What's curious is that it hasn't done it at all until now and I've had IE
since 1998.
