Help! Does anyone have any suggestions about this problem!
Recently purchased 2 Dell computers; one with XP Home Edition and one with
XP Professional. While working on either computer the dialog box will stop
being highlighted even while working in that box. (It happened twice during
the time I entered this message.)
