gibberish in text boxes

[chaosinc]

been getting a strange occurance lately.
if i am typing in a text box (like this one right now for example) and backspace or try to delet a character it gets garbled. if i scroll the box out of view on the screen and then scroll back everything looks fine and the changes i made are correct. if there is a scrollable text box on a web site it comes up fine untill i scoll and then the text gets funky again. comes back correctly wherever i stopped on the text box after i scroll the part of the page out of view and back again.
sorry for being long winded, but this is driving me nuts.
anyone ever see something like this before? knoweldge is power, spread the power

Tried a repair install of IE?

Or an online scan for virii (same as viruses), try housecall at this link:

You might even have a rogue JavaScript!

don't use ie on that machine.
haven't found any virii.
how would i go about checking for a rouge javascript?
that sounds wrong to because i allow no cookies and no javascript on my netscape on that machine.

will try these suggestions when i get home tonight...
