    In settings and typing mode is it definitely selected to "click to select"?

    Also a few more details, what operating system are you using, is this a laptop or desktop, what keyboard do you have plugged in (and any keyboard software)?

    I'm not sure it'd make any difference but try downloading and installing the latest Logitech Setpoint. Only thing I can think of is your current keyboard drivers/software are interferring or something. At home I have XP and a logitech keyboard and my OSK works fine.

    any particular reason why you use the osk?
    Hello Loaner

    Yes, I read in a computer mag it was safer, I'm not techie minded, so never know what's best.

    I seldom use CC details online, further down the site on the Grabbit board, there is an offer which I want to take up, but I need to use my CC.

    Mine has worked before, don't understand what's happened to it this time.

    Thanks anyway

    When I click on the OSK, it says "Set focus to the application window into which you want to type"

    What ever that means!! :confused:

    the mag was wrong, a randomised on screen keyboard provided by a bank login screen would be safer, but osk just simulates a keypress, so any software keylogger would pick it up.
    Oh :eek:

    I don't think it a banks site I was going to use, it's a subscription for BBC radio times on the grabbit board.
