Default Internet Explorer 8 problem

Hi, when i am posting on forums like this one and the post i am writing fills the box you get to type it in, instead of just carrying on like it did with IE7, you cannot see it and then every character you type you can see it for a split second.

Very frsutrating when you have to keep scrolling all the time to see what you have written or to correct a mistake.

Does anyone know the problem? Apologies if it has been posted before.

This should fix your problem:

In IE8 click Tools / Internet Options / and choose the Advanced tab.

Scroll down till you see the following and untick it Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages.

Click Ok, and restart IE8 for the changes to come into effect...

Hi, thanks for you help. I did the above but the problem hasn't been fixed. Is there another way round it?

Thanks.
