IE6 using Multiple IEs doesn't let me edit textboxes

Not sure if this counts as programming related, it's a tool that I use.

I've got Multiple IE installed so I can test the sites I make on IE6 for those people who require it, but recently IE6 is not letting me enter into any textboxes, they're acting as if they're all disabled.

Has anyone else encountered this probelem and/or know of a solution. I've already tried uninstalling & re-installing multiple ie.

Why can't I type in a text box?

All you have to do is click inside the type box, press the Windows key twice and start typing. If the method is successful, you should be able to type normally. Update: Another temporary solution that some users have discovered is to minimize and maximize the browser window in one or two quick successions.

Discovered in the comments on the tredosoft site that installing IE8 breaks textbox & textareas in the Multiple IE browser. I uninstalled IE8 & it's fixed the problem.

I have used Multipe IE for my testing but lately I am trying out SuperPreview.

SuperPreview is a new free standalone application from Microsoft (still in beta) which enables you to see how your websites will look across different versions of Internet Explorer making migration from IE6 to 7 and 8 much easier than before, without have to start up a Virtual Machine to run IE6, or have a separate computer dedicated to running IE6.
