Subject: Tech: Appearing 'eye' icon, keyboard locks
I'm having repetitive trouble, which baffles me, even to the extent that I can't figure what support organization to speak to.

I'm on XP Pro, and using Netscape, if that makes a difference.

Increasingly lately, when I left click on screen I get a black and white icon which looks like a stylized eye. While it's there, no clicks or keystrokes are honored. Sometimes ESCAPE will remove it, temporarily, but even if it does go away, it will come back in just a little whille.

I get this using Netscape on Mudcat, for example, but also on Paltalk, where Netscape is not involved.

Sometimes completely closing down the computer and rebooting will take care of it, but it shows up later again.

Of course I don't know if it's my computer, my operating system, my trackball, or Netscape, so I don't even know what support number to call.

Anybody got experience or knowledge of something like this?
