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.

Do you have the X-mouse feature enabled (i.e., where focus follows the mouse
pointer)?

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".
